Concept A 2003 General Motors concept car on display at the Test Track attraction at Disney World's Epcot.

The future of the car is a controversial topic, with some advocates arguing that the car has no future, and others that the car will in the future supplant most other forms of transport.

The main trend at the beginning of the 21st century is an increase in the number of cars in Asia.

There are significant challenges in the near future to continued use of the car:

Petroleum refining and car use are major factors in pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
50-70% of US oil production is consumed by cars and trucks. This is more due to the size, weight, shape and power of conventional cars than to necessity.
Cars are one of the most dangerous form of transport. 1 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide.
Increasing population and prosperity tends to increase traffic congestion.
