I disagree on the absolutism in this. Cars can take you places that not many people want to go, and whenever you want, which is one of the coolest things a person can do. You're never going to build transit to all of these places, and it's too far to walk or bike. Used in this way, cars increase human freedom which is one of the most important values for humans to pursue. The real problem with cars is that we use them for everything. It makes zero sense for us to use cars in dense in cities, or between popular locales, or for short distances. We could probably eliminate more than 90% of car usage. But trying to eliminate cars period is too far.
