He mentioned car, which is an awful comparison.
Cars should never have been invented and they are the worst thing that happened to humanity.
Just imagine how much money has been wasted into cars, and roads, when any other mean of transportation would have been more efficient.

I wouldn't say cars have no positive aspects, but they have been heavily marketed on the idea that they give you freedom (few car ads will show a traffic jam, it's always a gloriously open road...), but their cost, in terms of pollution, urban sprawl, and injuries is quite high.

If it's possible to live without a car in a society where cars are everywhere, it's highly probable that if cars were never a thing, the infrastructure would allow you to have the same amount of personal freedom, without the downsides of cars.
