    Do they want to get to places on those cars, or do they want to get to places and cars are the only (or only practical) way?

      They want to get places in those cars. Why do you think everyone “goes to work”? They go to work, because … they’re providing a service for people who are…

      dun dun dun…

      Driving cars to the places they want to get to, for commerce. This shit isn’t mandated. You don’t HAVE to own a car. Everyone WANTS to own cars.

        Terminal case of carbrain. I feel like I just stepped into a 1960s Ford Motors propaganda film reading this comment. Like I’m reading the perspective of someone who’s never set foot in a city with functional public transit/micromobility infrastructure and walkability in their life, or if they have, they tried to shoehorn their obnoxious 2019 Child Crusher AWD SUV into it and either completely missed out or actively blamed the objectively safer, more efficient, more pleasant infrastructure for impeding on their ability to go vroom vroom.

          You’re out of touch with reality. Go talk to a normal person sometime. Like, face to face. Not in your internet echo-chamber.
