Great read. Hard to summarize.

But basically: people have been buying bigger cars/trucks. Which has creates a positive feedback of people feeling unsafe unless they also drive bigger vehicles. Which means with electric, people want big. But big EVs are super heavy and expensive. Which is bad for many reasons.

All of that is to say: the future needs us to majorly rethink transport. How can we both: improve public transport and infrastructure to make people drive less; and how can we get people to drive smaller cars when they do.
