You do realise that not everyone is living in big vivid cities with perfect transportation?

For people in rural/urban areas cars are essential.

And don't get me wrong, i agree with everything you say, but that problem won't be solved so easily.

Absolutely, but the car industry didn't need to innovate there much because demand already existed. The point I was getting at is that we ripped out municipal transit systems, then built spread out cities where implementing mass transit would not be cost effective (i.e. Orlando, FL) but work well with cars. I'm no expert, though. It's just a thought I frequent on whenever looking at the state of transit and where we're going.
