Can you explain? If I want to visit a friend 60mi away and I choose to drive my car, how did my car cause the problem?
An argument could be made that if cars didn't exist then I wouldn't know that friend at all, which I suppose does in a sense mean that a car caused my problem, but I don't think that's a great argument.

Are you referring to city planning, climate change, or something else?

Everyone, by necessity, is selfish. For example, every month I have the choice of paying my rent or donating that same money to charity. I (very understandably) choose to pay my rent, which is a selfish decision. This isn't a bad thing. The key is to not be overly selfish.
Owning a car is not overly selfish, though I'd like to know why you think it is.
