“I hate cars. I hate driving. I really hate other people's driving, and other people's cars. EVs are such an enormous leap forward in environmental terms that it feels somewhat perverse to question them, but nonetheless, despite all the hype, despite all the fun, it's worth remembering that the top priority — not just for climate hawks but for humanists of all sorts — should be reducing the need for, and number of, cars.”
I love cars and I love driving. How about you live your life and I’ll live mine, okay?
- ed312 5y agoYou're dangerously close to wrongthink. You must express hatred for cars, love living in high-density cities, and disdain for anyone who dares to want the option to live differently. (/s, hopefully obvious) I too love cars and driving. I hate commuting via car, so I set up my life to not do that. I also dislike people pushing the blame of bad driving on _cars_ and _car manufacturers_. People are _chosing_ to interact with infotainment, use their phone, and generally not pay attention. I don't think we need more regulation, but to treat distracted driving the same way we treat drunk driving (which isn't really good enough, but a start).
