Ernst was talking about the general development path, which will certainly change according to the situation in East Africa. In fact, when it comes to the development of the automobile industry, there's no avoiding a new issue, which is road construction.
Now that automobiles have appeared, road construction in East Africa must be put on the agenda. In the past, East Africa built many roads, especially in the east, where the road density can already be compared to some European countries.
However, the standards of these roads are very low, including gravel roads, dirt roads, cinder-paved roads, brick roads, or cement roads.
More than eighty percent of the wilderness and countryside in East Africa are dirt roads. Some are compacted, and villages near industrial areas may have cinder roads, with a few gravel road surfaces.
