Will cars become obsolete?

The shoelace express, going by the trend in the prices of cars and gas

When so much modern military equipment has been destroyed, and roads have been destroyed, there are then not even enough horses to field cavalry. Conscripts of the invaders trot up to the front lines on donkeys to fight on foot. Donkey dragoons.

agreed

We will ride wild hogs through the streets like savages

We're going to make everything closer and closer together, until the point where taking anything but foot is inefficient. We're going to make a ecosystem where maneuverability trumps speed, due to the shortened distances.

I'll be a little more serious

I think that in the future, we'll probably have different sectors where different modes of transportation are more efficient or make more sense to use.

I don't think cars will go completely obsolete, but their use will probably diminish pretty significantly. But that's just me speculating.

Cars will probably become a luxury item that only the wealthy can afford in the not-to-distant future. That may be why Tesla created an armored vehicle to showcase as their next big thing.

He should have foreseen the minions

Cars will become obsolete.

Can you illustrate a few reasons or potential causes?

Well ain't you playing fun police today

That's a chillingly accurate analogy

If you look at the long term, things always become obsolete. They probably won’t be replaced in the near future, though.

Fair point, but I still don't fully agree. I definitely think their usage will diminish over time, but I don't see them becoming completely obsolete. Even if cars in the future look nothing like the ones we have today, I still think the concept of private transportation would appeal to many people.
