The "car" is now outdated, it is essentially a rogue transport device used by alienated cattle stock consumers for oil corporation profiteering. Ross is a visionary and will find it hard to get backing from governments bent on capitalist ideals, but once the collective mind set has changed there will be no stopping him.

It's a flawed concept. Good that he is concerned with the future, but he is stuck inside his own way of looking at things - and the desire to have all embrace his ideas.

P.S. What's the intercourse gesture at around 1:17?

This guy has to stop perscribing how to live and begin telling us about the future ..the future might be impractical since it will cost less and use more energy.

We will be luxurious since energy will be cheap in the future. I would think we will be so efficient that we can waste and like it.
