The advent of the automobile changed the world and its inhabitants as no other means of transport had ever done before. It is increasingly plain to see that cars are ill-suited to big cities and that the social, economic and environmental costs they incur are no longer sustainable. Drawing on interviews with philosophers, urban designers and engineers, together with archive material, animation sequences and images of contemporary society, this thought-provoking film questions our de- pendence on the automobile and urges us to rethink our ideas about personal mobility. <%YOUTUBE=nyUmIlVlEk0%>
