Yes indeed, my days of carting kids around are behind me. Some thoughts on that -

Maybe introduce a group travel cost, some places do have family travel passes, so that would reduce costs. Hauling junk (and dog) becomes difficult, asian and some European countries seem to do this, how do they do it?

There should be answers for this, like automate the cars maybe is a solution, but maybe its introducing new problems (it is). Has anyone done a cost benefit analysis? Automating cars is definitely cool, but is there a better way?

Cheaper and better public transport is definitely possible, and the cost maybe is a lot less than a world full of cars.

The arrival of the phone and apps for public transport is a game changer, in the past random travel wouldn't really be possible because you had to learn bus routes and carry timetables with you, not so any more.
