I want to offer that cars have always involved government corruption. The invention of jaywalking, the corrupt development of the highways for “national security” while simultaneously hampering development of real public transit, the wars started for fuel, the extrajudicial killings of people threatening the fossil fuel industry with electric cars (historically), political corruption is the life blood of cars.
