When I look at World Streets I wonder why it wasn't done before, because
it's so obvious that we need an international platform like this! - Esther,

How can we save the world auto industry?
 
The world automotive industry churns out new cars, buses and trucks
presently at a clip of about 70 million vehicles per

presently being faced by certain manufacturers in countries and regions in
which they are located, and whatever may be your personal preferences, it is
not about to go away.

Cars, buses and trucks are part of our mobility future. In addition to the
new ones that are coming in at that healthy deca-million clip, we currently
"enjoy" an inventory on the order of not far from one billion motor vehicles
of all types and sizes in various parts of our gasping planet, not
including, famously, the rising swarm of motorized two wheelers that are
baffling planners and policy makers in cities around the world.
