• Abstract:
  The assessment deals with changes in the future use and characteristics of the automobile
  
  transportation system that are expected in the near term (by 1985) and those that might evolve
  
  over a longer period (through 2000 and beyond). The scope of the assessment is broad and
  
  includes not only automobiles but also highways, fuel supply and distribution, automotive repair
  
  and service, insurance, traffic management, and law enforcement--in short, all of the industries and
  
  services that contribute to use of the automobile as a mode of personal transportation. The report
  
  analyzes the restraints of energy supply, environmental impacts, highway safety, and consumer cost
  
  on the further development of the automobile transportation system. It discusses Government
  
  initiatives that may be necessary to assure such further development. Detailed projections, policy
  
  analyses, and technological forecasts incorporated in this volume are published in Volume
  
  II--Technical Report. (TRB/TRIS 00198033)
