Think about it. No pollution, cleaner air, maybe even less global warming? We'd probably have better public transports and maybe even healthier lifestyles. Our cities would look totally different too, maybe more green spaces and less paved roads. Kinda wild to think about how much cars have shaped our world.

Sure, no cars sounds great for the environment and health, but it wouldn’t all be sunshine and rainbows. Think about emergencies, quick transport of goods, and rural living where distances are longer. Not practical to think it'd be easy to live without cars unless you’re in a city maybe.

This is EXACTLY what we need to consider. The car dependency culture is devastating for our planet! Imagining a world without them is the first step to reducing our carbon footprint. We'd likely have invested more in renewable energies earlier since we wouldn’t just be trying to find more efficient ways to power our cars but rather how to power our societies differently from the get-go.

This is a neat thought exercise. Without cars, urban sprawl wouldn't be as big of an issue and cities would be way more compact. It's likely that residential and commercial spaces would be mixed to a higher degree, reducing the need for long commutes and thus encouraging walking or biking. Mass transit would be advanced, maybe we'd have super efficient subway systems or even personal rapid transit in smaller towns.
