Car ownership is the biggest Prisoners' Dilemma ever constructed.
If everyone stopped driving cars tomorrow and switched to riding ebikes and/or public transport, a big chunk of our housing, climate, and public health problems would be solved overnight.
But if I ride my bike and you keep driving your big-ass SUV, you reap all the benefits of one less car on the road while I risk grievous injury and death each time I start pedaling.
Man, I really hate cars.
