As I pointed out to another poster, I'm not using my car at all for more than 95% of the time: it just sits on my driveway. To spend 5% of my waking time using my car I'd need to drive for 48 minutes every day, which I'm not even close to. I think it's unfair to count time when I'm asleep as time when I could possibly be using something (other than my bed!). I think all of this debate points to one thing: the article is written from, and generalising from, a very myopic perspective, and shouldn't in any way be given serious consideration by many people for whom it doesn't and can't apply.
