Comment on (serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.
Get a horse
A horse would be even more expensive than a car, and would have way more emissions compared to my driving habits.
Of course it’s a terrible suggestion. It was meant sarcastically. People used horses before cars were invented and it’s no surprise that once they were, cars became the dominant mode of transportation because they are far superior.
I suspected it wasn’t a serious suggestion, but couldn’t help thinking through the logistics anyway.
