While our roads remain as they are, and present speeds are kept up, the slaughter will continue…"

—George Orwell, on the hypocrisy of “blame the victim” traffic campaigns.

    I agree, it’s not even about speed or efficiency, in fact trains and other public transportation combined with better planning of cities etc could be way better in these spheres. Cars are a thing because public transportation has been underfunded in favor of the profits of the auto industry and many who can use cars don’t want to get worse service while being among the “poors,” along with the fact that all our crappy infrastructure is based around cars, and the advertising brainwashing us into a consumerist and individualist lifestyle.
