Some HN comments suggest that its ridiculous for each individual to have a car. Cars should be minimized in favor of public transportation. To save the planet of course.

Traffic jams are an issue and not wanting a car fine. Not being allowed to own one is not. You lose movement sovereignty and become dependent on public transportation, which is not nearly as good. Besides, you are forfeiting your right to private property by giving governments the power to tell you what you can and can't own. That's a dangerous game to play. In a social credit system society being forced to use public transportation is every dictators wet dream.

While some will be happy to sell their car to save the planet, I will not. On the contrary, I will do what I can to become more sovereign and to protect my rights.

Things will change though. "They" will come after personal cars just like they're coming after meat.
