Cars were/are inevitable. But they did massive damage to human fitness, which we still haven't recovered from. I intentionally don't own one, and at least some places in the world are starting to wake up and restrict them and build walkable cities.

They also destroyed our cities, and are one of the major contributors to the destruction of the climate to which we are adapted.
I just keep looking at this chart

The US is steadily becoming more and more unhappy. The solutions are fairly basic and fundamental - fix inequality, green spaces, walkable cities, healthcare, education, climate change etc but Americans are too busy chasing tech/military solutions. This country is the richest it has ever been, but it's going to be quite rocky for the foreseeable future.
