What's crazy is why do we even need so many cars that they need to be made this fast?

Think about it. How many children are being born at the same amount of this one assembly line of this one brand, and they all need a car? Why do we need so many cars!?

The amount of infrastructure redesign, urban planning, etc. required to make it so 'we don't need cars at all', while theoretically possible is not practically feasible. Even in places with robust public transit and design geared towards walkability, people still use cars.
