The youth of today tend to focus way too much on the impracticalities and expense of driving. I have friends that live in SF and never drive anywhere, but they also don't like to do anything that isn't city related. Going to Yosemite or the middle of Utah on a whim would never cross their mind. Going on spontaneous road trips to places without public transit is something I do regularly. I'm not trying to solve the public policy problems--just pointing out that cars have immense practical value and aren't just metal coffins. When I went to Norway for vacation I was able to go to the wilderness on ferries like you suggest, which is great.
