My counter to this line of thinking, when it's come up in conversations before, is this:
Horses are still legally permitted on basically all of the roads they were before automobiles were invented.
Granted, they're generally quite rare, expensive to maintain, and a luxury ... but they're still with us.
- dustinmoorenet 9y agoHorses have been relegated to back country roads. If there is any amount of traffic, the horses are on the shoulder of roads, in the grass. I have never seen a horse on an interstate or highway.

- romwell 9y agoThe OP's point still stands. There were no interstates or highways in the horse-and-buggy era.
- santaclaus 9y ago> I have never seen a horse on an interstate or highway. Take a drive through Lancaster, PA. First time I saw a horse and buggy on the highway I was kind of freaked out.
- King-Aaron 9y agoExactly, cars will become what horses became. Things for enthusiasts to enjoy.
- romwell 9y agoThe point is, Lutz's future where you'll have to sell your car for scrap will probably not come. It might make sense to do so, but you won't have to. And, unlike a horse, a car doesn't require much to keep. If you have space to keep it (which, unless you live in a very densely populated urban area, you absolutely do), why wouldn't you? And on that note, if I could keep a pony for free, I would keep one too.
