Interesting article from 2018. But nothing has changed at all. Even the electric cars I see on the road are huge.
EVs weren’t made to save the planet; they were made to save the car industry.
Theyre an improvement surely but mass transit, cycle lanes, and better urban planning are fundamentally more important to emphasize.
This article doesn’t even touch on the fact that tires and brake dust still contribute to unhealthy air quality and adverse health outcomes.

This lady speaks the truth
At this point i don’t even demand fewer cars, i just want smaller cars.
90% of people do not need a 4-seat gas-guzzler with a massive trunk which literally outsizes a WW1 tank and a top speed of “yes”, they can get by perfectly fucking fine with a little electric moped-car where the rear seats are foldable and the trunk fits maybe 3 grocery bags.
Yeah. If I can carry 12-14kg from Costco on my bicycle pannier bags, a small car can handle most shopping trips for most people, most of the time. =p
Not much use in saying we need fewer cars without questioning why we need so many.
I would happily stop driving TO A FUCKING USELESS OFFICE and give up my car to do it.
Want fewer cars, gotta work on the cause not the symptom. Shaming people for driving because they don’t have a choice isn’t useful.
without questioning why we need so many.
Because most of our cities are designed in a way that makes going to the places we need to get to very difficult without a car.
Porque no los dos
Both is good. And smaller.
