I mean, at it’s core a car is just a metal box with four wheels. It’s just a tool for us to accomplish the goals of moving things that need to be moved, not unlike a hammer. Nothing intrinsically wrong with the tool and it certainly has its uses, but relying on cars for mass transportation is like hammering in a screw. You can physically do it with that tool, but it’s a really bad application of the tool.
