Electric cars are crucial, but not enough to solve climate change. We can’t let them crowd out car-free transit options.
Cars have become too much of a symbol of clout for many societies. I just wish humanity could get its shit together.
Broke: I need a car to prove I’m not poor.
Woke: Cars are the very things keeping us poor.
Woke as fuck : getting chauffeured in my $1.7 million electric vehicle
Woke to the future: cruising in style in my multi million-dollar driverless pod
Is it really something that inpresses other people? I feel cars only impress their owners and they hope other people are as impressed.
Cars are seen as a status symbols in a lot of places, instead of as the utilitarian things they are. Where I’m from people will see you in a better or worse light depending on what you drive, for sure. Most young people get first in debt not for college, but for the 200.000km second or third hand car imported from Germany.

That is exactly, what I mean. It’s not so much about impressing other people and more about impressing themselves. They want a big car, because they think, it makes them big. Even people who care about cars don’t see every car and think how cool the owner must be.
