The car was the ticket to freedom in the 20th century,
transforming America as millions flocked to the suburbs and
needed a vehicle to shuttle them to work, school and
everything in between. America—Detroit in
particular—regarded its cars as an extension and reflection
of itself. But as the country has proved time and again, Americans can
change their habits in what seems like the blink of an eye.
In the wake of a disastrous recession and the advent of the
mobile Web, people are reconsidering how and where they want
to live. A car-free life once seemed ludicrous if you didn’t
live in one of the country’s biggest metropolises, but a
movement is brewing among cyclists, public transportation
devotees and auto upstarts like Tesla and Uber. They are
declaring their independence from the automobile industry,
and their ranks are growing with converts who want to
revolutionize transportation in America once again.
