Hi,

Saving one life is a good thing. Saving many is great. But there is 
nothing "New Mobility" about this programme and related activities of Ms 
Yeoh with the FIA Foundation and the Asia Injury Prevention Foundation.

The sponsors (Besides FIA, also Michelin, BP and the Danish govt. among 
others) seem to be primarily interested in creating and preserving 
current and future motorists, rather than creating options.

Is Michael Schumacher going to promote BRT, cycling.... going slow? Of 
course not. He is going to say that if you were only like him, skilled 
and helmeted, the future is bright.

We shouldn't fall for it not should we accept the growing private 
motorisation of the developing world. Our friends in many fine 
organisations are promoting alternatives which save lives AND the 
environment and do lots of other positive things. I don't think that New 
Mobility or doing mobility differently is a luxury for anyone.
