We are talking 2050 right? Why would most people keep a separate self-driving EV in the garage? Just hail one through an app and it will drive you on your trip, 1 mile or 500 miles. Some people just enjoy shaming others for living pleasant lives when technology is already available to preserve each activity while keeping carbon emissions down and is not standing still - in fact the rate of technological advancement of humanity is accelerating over time. Lab grown meat can be cheaper, tastier and healthier than one from a whole animal. See your less important travel destinations in high quality VR. Or if you still want organic meat or a non-VRable beach vacation, enjoy, we have carbon capture and biofuel tech to get you covered. Progress is about giving choices, not taking away choices.

> Some people just enjoy shaming others for living pleasant lives I've observed that most people have some instinctual need to hate on some other sub-group of society, and blame them for the world's problems. For a lot of people that subgroup seems to be "car users". We could collectively be focusing on decarbonizing all energy production, and building excess energy production capacity to offset any remaining carbon production, and even start winding back the damage we've done so far. And then it wouldn't matter one bit what mode of transportation you used, or what you used energy towards. But it's easier to divide ourselves and hate on each other.
