Cars are great, especially electric cars.

If you are in the US, are 40,000 deaths a year and over 2 million injured of disabled worth it for the convenience they bring? Not to me. Are those direct deaths going to stop with electric cars? Not while people are in control.

Cars also allow for exploration, going through remote roads at you will, traveling to where you like and when you like. The US is enormous and cars are not purely negative there.

I guess that is worth the death count to you? Not to me.
