Popis: This paper presents a view of what transportation and traffic may be like in the year 2042. It is important to consider the future since, even with rapid changes in areas such as communication and mobility, wide-ranging developments can be significantly influenced by political and planning interventions. The author presents possible developments through a mosaic of topics: city, edge city and suburbia development; post-material lifestyles; car use without car ownership; virtual mobility; intermodal transport; hydrogen-powered cars; privatized road network and road fees; and automatic driving. Several of these suggestions may prove to be overly optimistic, but others have already been implemented in some areas.
