For hopefully most people, it should be attributed to the "Wait, now I have such a freedom and power?".
Opposite to "before the invention of bicycle, people married within a radius in the order of the mile" (can't remember the exact stat right now).
It's like that feeling of power you get from owning a gun that you only bought because you feared all the other people who owned guns.
Comparing freedom of movement to a killing device is beyond any threshold of plausibility. And the whole sentence above is unintelligible here.
No, it's really that the ability to move at ease is priceless.
Car crashes kill roughly as many Americans each year as guns.
If you add pollution impacts, cars double the yearly deaths of guns.
