Disagree with this one. In the US (and Japan) most of the major car companies have stuck their heads in the sand in the hopes that EVs would go away.

They won't.

But the consequences of that action means that most of them will probably go bankrupt in a frantic attempt to catch up to Tesla and other Chinese automakers who've pioneered more efficient manufacturing techniques, and with whom they're unable to compete on price.

As to the rest, I agree wholeheartedly that we should do everything possible to prioritize mass transit, walkability, and biking, and minimize car use.

But.

In the US we've spend the last century designing our cites around urban sprawl. Like it or not, that's where many of our homes are and where people live.

You're simply NOT going to solve sprawl, especially in western cities, with mass transit.

As such, some form of personal transportation must exist. And if so, then it benefits everyone to make it as efficient, and as clean, as possible.
