Buggering about with things we know nothing about will only end up in tears. May I remind everyone that:

Goodness knows what is coming "down the pike". Some folk simply can't get their mind around this. But it's coming sure as eggs is eggs.
Going to work, or hospital, on the back of a cart, is not a good option.
Needs a bit of work on the science of the pollution!

Over the last hundred years or so everybody decided they needed a motor...Sometimes even several, and nowadays monster vehicles just to take the kids to school, and just like the days of coal fires and smog, we are polluting our local environments and causing traffic jams of biblical proportions which rather defeats the object of independent travel...
When I was a courier back in the 2000's nothing moved on the roads around the big cities at rush hour, now it's spreading throughout the day also. Electric vehicles may provide the answer, not because they are any more efficient or less polluting, but because no bugger will be able to afford or run one....
