- JAlexoid 3y agoThey take up a lot of space and require a lot more energy to move around. Even if we get 100% electric vehicles with all clean power generation - it's still a massive toll on the environment. A car isn't a helicopter, they require reasonably good roads with high costs of maintenance(and a lot of other infrastructure to support roads). Also car dependent lifestyle means that population density drops, with less walkable places than ever.
