CARS
Motor cars are the dream that could ultimately become the nightmare of the 21st century. The
machines that once liberated rich people have become essential for millions. They have also sentences the
present generation to the frustration of never-ending journeys that would shock the pioneers of Britain's
biggest single industry.
Cars have allowed millions to travel enormous distances for business and holidays cheaply and
quickly. But the rapid growth in motoring has condemned us all to neurosis, not only over the time wasted in
traffic jams, but also over pollution. That is why noise illnesses and destruction caused through pollution,
road building, and the making of cars have made transport a major concern for the millennium.
Britain's motor industry today employs a million people. However the industry which has shown such
brilliant inventiveness over the century now faces its biggest challenge: to ensure a future of growth without
pollution. The problem facing Britain is that millions rely on the car because there is no viable alternative.
