Richness breeds complacency and egoism. In rich nations most cars just transport a single person from A to B.

Only a few people in industrialized nations are willing to use their own bicycle or any other less fuel guzzling means to transport themselves. Sure there are many people who use public transport – but those who use cars usually ride alone.

It’s such an irony, since most cars simply transport themselves, because that single person hardly makes a difference moving a ton of metal and plastic.
