I’ve been anti-car my entire life. But as time has gone on I’ve started to see the reasoning behind the pro-car people. Having a space to yourself is nice. I’ve been thinking about what it would take to make cars less bad for society.
Those factors are:
Resolving the traffic issue and the impact the traffic issue has on housing supply.
The microplastics from tires.
The cost of vehicles.
Obviously this would resolve the cost issue. A $9,000 EV is around the level of a very expensive e-bike. The battery being half the size of the BYD Atto 1 Essential (an already smaller than average) is probably a step in the right direction for microplastics too.

I’m hopeful for the future.
