If we are using hydrogen to power vehicles I think they will be fuel cell based.

All that ^^ does is move the problem underground and out of sight , also harder to reach for emergency services .

I don't see any way back from where we are, even pricing per journey will still be justified.. lift sharing just won't work because you won't be home the nanosecond you think you need to be. There will need to be something more than a minor addition to the cost before habits will change

For longer distance stuff the cost of shared transport has to stack up before it becomes viable.

For example, I'm going to Sheffield more regularly now. Even taking a branch line to reading, then to Paddington, into Euston, before finally Sheffield is actually quicker than driving (just if everything is on time).

To drive there and back, about £40... The train at the same time £170ish.

Because we don't subside rail travel like every other sensible country. Have road charging and use it to subsidise rail travel.

Once cars are self driving and thus speed limited, why would most people want to own one?

I'm willing to bet we have ridden pricing in urban areas within 10 years, if not sooner.

Have a read up about future planning for Birmingham City Centre. They are exploring the idea of closing the Aston Expressway and the city centre tunnels and also splitting Birmingham into zones and charging for driving from one zone to another. They reckon 900 people per year from respiratory diseases caused by road pollution. Every city is thinking the same way.
