I think the car analogy is not quite correct. A car is able to dynamically change its velocity, bitcoin can't easylie do that. It would be much better to find a genereal solution that fix that problem altogether, instead of finding a solution that works for the next few years and might require future forks.

There is rarely a silver bullet, and I don't see one in the case of Bitcoin. Even if lightning network (which is what everyone who does not see the need for a block-size increase points to) was available today, we would need larger blocks to reach VISA-scale. The responsible thing to do is to increase the blocks as early as possible while we still are in "beta".
