Americans love automobiles. We love to drive them. We don’t want anyone telling us what kind of
car to buy or how much to drive it. Forty years ago, most Americans drove big cars that used a lot of gas.
The gas shortage of the 1970s didn’t change Americans driving habits much. What did change was the
way automobiles were built. Automakers began making cars smaller and lighter. They built smaller and more efficient engines.
In 1973, there were 102 million cars on the road. Today, there are more than 137 million cars. There are
more cars being driven more miles than ever before. Forty-eight percent of the passenger vehicles sold in
2009 were sport utility vehicles and light trucks. With the recent fluctuations in fuel prices, however,
demand for these big vehicles has dropped, while demand for hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles has increased.

smarter. So-called “smart cars” have been around for many years. But there are signs of progress. Many

available in Europe, can brake automatically when your foot off the accelerator, consumes no gasoline and
operates for 80-100 miles per charge.
“I do believe that there is a growing opportunity for new types of vehicles specifically designed for
urban areas” Koslowski said, adding that these cars need more a “wow” factor and will have to become
part of an urban area’s overall plan for better transportation in a city, not just showy small cars for
individual drivers. 36. Producing smart cars is the only way to solve transporting issues in urban areas. A. True B. False
