No, really. There is nothing I like about cars.

When I see people standing in front of magazine racks looking at Car and Driver, I have no idea what they’re thinking.

Cars are so dumb.

And have I mentioned I don’t like cars?

Cars are mostly good for killing people, which they do exceedingly well, especially pedestrians.

Cars suck.

Having a human being, with reflexes that evolved for a human being–which is a thing that can run maybe a few miles per hour–behind the wheel of a hurtling missile, is dumb.

Really, really dumb. It’s kind of a death wish, in fact. In fact, it’s not a death wish, it’s death by design.

Which is why I really can’t understand why people get all excited about the design of cars.

Get back to me when cars are safe. That is to say, when cars are automatic, which, by any rational analysis of reality, they must be.

Until then, I look at a car and I see a death trap, not pleasant design.
