In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today According to the claim, in twenty years, there will be fewer cars in use than now. I absolutely disagree with this for three reasons. Firstly, a modern society deeply depends on automobiles. They are used for products delivery, public transport, and private drives. It will be difficult to replace them completely in the next twenty years since there should be a reliable alternative. I don't think that many people will agree to use trolleys or railroads in the way they use cars. This will require building rails all over a city. Secondly, pollution, which is the main problem associated with cars, is almost solved. People more and more use cars with electric or hybrid engines. It's likely that mass production will help to provide the supply of them. Consequently, the prices will increase and people all over the globe will be able to buy them. Thirdly, many of us prefer using personal cars because of their comfort. If we reduce the number of cars, we have to use public transport more frequently. I don't think that it's convenient for all. For example, some people with disabilities can't use buses and trolleys because they first have to go a significant distance from their homes to a bus stop. Also, a car is not only a vehicle but also a thing that shows a social status. In my opinion, quite a lot of people want to buy a luxurious automobile in order to prove themselves that they are rich. Finally, It's not likely that, in twenty years, there will be fewer cards in use than today. Distribution and public transportation systems rely on automobiles. Also, there are technical innovations which solve the pollution problem.

In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today

According to the claim, in twenty years, there will be fewer cars in use than now. I absolutely disagree with this for three reasons.

Firstly, a modern society deeply depends on automobiles. They are used for products delivery, public transport, and private drives. It will be difficult to replace them completely in the next twenty years since there should be a reliable alternative. I don't think that many people will agree to use trolleys or railroads in the way they use cars. This will require building rails all over a city.

Secondly, pollution, which is the main problem associated with cars, is almost solved. People more and more use cars with electric or hybrid engines. It's likely that mass production will help to provide the supply of them. Consequently, the prices will increase and people all over the globe will be able to buy them.

Thirdly, many of us prefer using personal cars because of their comfort. If we reduce the number of cars, we have to use public transport more frequently. I don't think that it's convenient for all. For example, some people with disabilities can't use buses and trolleys because they first have to go a significant distance from their homes to a bus stop. Also, a car is not only a vehicle but also a thing that shows a social status. In my opinion, quite a lot of people want to buy a luxurious automobile in order to prove themselves that they are rich.

  I changed it to mean: people want to prove to others they are rich. You don't need " that they are" but if what you mean is that they want to prove to their own selves they are rich than say prove to themselves that they are rich. 

Finally, It's not likely that, in twenty years, there will be fewer cards in use than today. Distribution and public transportation systems rely on automobiles. Also, there are technical innovations which solve the pollution problem.
