Commuter cars are too wide.
Narrow the cars so more can go by.
Delete the Seats.
If passenger seats in a car were
behind and not beside the driver, lanes could be divided in two and twice as many
people could go through without widening roads.
Almost all trips have only one
passenger – the driver. For
commuting, cars without passenger sides give drivers what they want more than
anything else – an efficient way to get to and from work.
ü Mission
o
Now that “We the People”
loaned the car companies billions of dollars, we must insist on the intelligent
design of cars that work on the roads we are driving.
ü Safety
o
Each car tested and held to the
strictest safety standards available.
o
Narrow cars give emergency vehicles a
way to get through traffic that vehicles with passenger sides can’t get
through.
o
Cars with passenger sides block
traffic. Hundreds and thousands of
lives could be lost due to people driving empty passenger sides of cars during
an evacuation. The transfer of the
highway system from waste to efficiency could save lives as well as time and
money.
ü Win Win Win Win
o
Drivers get to where they want to go
faster at much cheaper cost and can avoid bad spots in the road with ease.
o
Car makers produce a product with
actual added value – real-time improvement in commute times.
o
Governments save money on widening
roads and bridges.
o
Environment improves with less fossil
fuel usage while saving open space.

ü Generals and Escalators
o
A WWII general ordered the bombing of
a bridge because trucks couldn't get under it. A private suggested letting air out of
the tires, and the truck made it through without blowing up the bridge.
We don't have to blow up the environment
for unnecessary road widening.
o
Have you ever been behind two people
standing side by side on an escalator and wanted to go through? If one person went behind the other
person then traffic would get through.
Perhaps we can resolve the crazy traffic
situation with this basic tenant.
ü Why would smart, beautiful women ride in them?
o
Won’t have to worry about being
late to the concert
o
Won’t have to worry about
parking at the game
o
Won’t have to worry about
getting wet, too cold, or too hot on the way to the work
