> There is nothing particular to humans that makes them car dependent [...] Not dependent in the practical sense, but I think we are somewhat genetically wired for something related to long distance travel and/or the means to do so, or at least to move at higher speeds than we can on foot. There's the love for horses in (mostly female) humans, and the way car purchases are made is not at all driven by practical considerations only. Transformation can make us less dependent on cars and reduce their use. It won't remove the desire to own and fully control means of transportation.
