The War On Cars, a new podcast from Sarah Goodyear (@buttermilk1), Doug Gordon (@BrooklynSpoke), and Aaron Naparstek (@Naparstek). Produced by Curtis Fox. Music by Nathaniel Goodyear.

In this pilot episode, we discuss why the world needs a War on Cars and ask if tech—and more specifically tech companies—can save our cities from the car. Are e-scooters, Lyft buses, and self-driving Ubers running through Elon Musk's tunnels the wave of the future, or are they a harbinger of dystopia?

with Stephen Box, Public Information Officer of Empower LA, Scott Epstein, Chair of the Mid City West Community Council, Leyna Lightman, recipient of a Vision Zero Artistic Intervention grant from the City of Los Angeles, and Luke Klipp, Budget Analyst for the Los Angeles Metro
