Millenial drivers ready for intelligent transportation?

Do you really need it?

A number of my neighbors drive large SUVs. None of them are married or have kids. Most of them are single. They own neither a boat nor a camper. Not even a few motorbikes or bicycles.

Others own fancy sports cars full of horsepower - impossible, however, to use on most occasions in the clogged streets of my northeast Los Angeles neighborhood.

Foolishness. Waste.

Fortunately, "Millennial" drivers crave iPods over horsepower. Email access, iPod and laptop hook ups reign far more supreme than size and power.

Is it evolution at work?

Combined with studies questioning America's love affair with the automobile, global warming, foreign oil dependency, etc., is not a new automotive order ripe for the making?

Possibly more important, are bailout viability plans even capable of assessing exactly what America's automotive future should be, or at least could be?
