Thinking things through to the end is usually successful. Just not our strength in Germany. I don’t even know if it’s that easy to blame politics or industry. The reasons are often much more banal: People don’t like change. “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said: faster horses,” Henry Ford is said to have said.
The bottom line is that our children will drive different cars than we do today. They will look different, I am convinced that they will be predominantly electric, fueled with electricity, with hydrogen and, as combustion engines, they will be climate-neutral with e-fuels or eco-mix fuels. It doesn’t all have to be bad, because it preserves our mobility.
