Top F1 designer says auto industry moving in wrong direction with electric cars

Having cars as the primary and often sole viable method of transportation, under any circumstances, be it for a soda craved in the middle of the night, vacationing in a different state or daily commute, and having all the cities and the country designed for them is totally a ridiculous concept.

and until we get star trek tech, the only alternative to cars in a city is getting on a meatwagon and having your day enriched by drunks, junkies, crazies and numerous other vibrant urban characters

and outside the cities, would you have buses run around the clock between little towns in the middle of nowhere on the off-chance that someone from a farm might need a ride in the middle of the night?

Cars and what you described are not the only two options.

Your perspective is way too American. Visit Europe and maybe you'll understand.

there's a number of differences between European (except a few, since some time ago) and American cities, and don't pretend you don't understand
