    Eh, they won’t die, they’ll just get taxed probably. Look at Italy for example, they charge for any power over 250hp + displacement. At the end of the day if we’re not talking about city pollution cars pale in comparison to the shipping industry and airlines.

      In the future they would need to be banned, things aren’t looking great when it comes to the climate and taxes won’t make it better. As a car guy I’ll weep when that time comes, but we can’t sacrifice the world for a form of transportation. And by then I’ll assume all city vehicles would be either very efficient hybrids or fully EVs.
