      Like it or not he is a big part of deciding the direction of car culture and what cars are cool and what cars are lame. Had he focused more on electric cars* or spent less time demonizing and othering bikes and buses then things could have gone better.

      * Electric Cars are not an ultimate solution to climate change but they are important transitionary technology while countries rework their infrastructure.
