Being "anti car" is good for people that love cars. More public transit means less trafic, less congestion, less demand for gas and generally just more space for people that actually like to drive cars.

Plus, if some people don't want to drive a car and just want to get places, maybe don't get a car? There's already safe and proven "technology" to do that. I understand the added safety bonus of "autonomous" cars but let's be real, it's not advertised as something to boost the safety of everyone around, it's advertised as "autopilot" or even worse, "Full Self Driving".

I am certainly anti car, but pointing out the flaws in "FSD" or "autonomous cars" and how it's being falsely marketed to people is also on topic and is not exactly "inserting my views". People can still love cars and use them, just don't BS us with the "FSD" and "autonomous" spiel.
