Abstract

[This report firstly introduces the concept of automobile-dependent society and the automobiles’ important role in society, and then describes the current automobile-dependent society in China. It holds that as of early 2012 China has crossed the threshold of automobile-dependent society, as evidenced by the overall household car ownership. As leading cities of the country have stridden into the automobile-dependent society and the second- and third-tier cities see a large of number of cars pour into average families, Chinese cities enter the automobile-dependent society in echelons. In this process, China automobile industry—a pivotal part of the national economy—experiences rapid development; the mileage of roads, an essential facility for the automobile-dependent society, keeps increasing; and the auto population density is growing. Still the Chinese automobile-dependent society faces such problems as insufficient space, rising costs of automobile use, much to be desired in auto civility and imbalanced development. Finally, the report points out the developing direction of the automobile-dependent society in China.]
