Cars are dangerous, that’s why they can only be used by licensed operators (both for safety and environmental impact), are heavily regulated, and still have problems coming from overreliance that would have been easier to solve before we built infrastructure around them.
It’s why we’ve seen things like walkable cities and public transit come back as popular ideas.
