Gridlocked, asphyxiating cities. Looming climate disaster. A main
cause of this nightmare is the conventional car and its basic
design which is unchanged since its origin in the nineteenth
century. ‘The Ghost Car’ is the fascinating story of a
radically different type of urban car which could sweep away the
traffic jams and the air pollution and energy wastage that go with
them. The inventor, and author of this book, Edmund Jephcott, gave
up an academic career in a determined bid to turn his idea into
reality. He built a successful prototype which was presented to
major car producers worldwide. The vehicle was well received by the
public and press. Yet… the traffic jams are still there, along
with the ever-_worsening weather events and fears of some ultimate
catastrophe. Why? This book gives the answer, and readers of it
might never look at existing cars in the same way again.
