    I’m torn. On one hand, you’re right. On the other, I wish we did everything we could to have fewer cars on the road, period.

      I totally agree with you. IMO cars should be delegated for those who really need them, like in rural settings. But, currently, most new cars sold are too oversized, so smaller cars could be better in that regard. Though, the Chinese would probably just create big SUV cars just for North America.

      Oh I agree 100%. But remember, you don’t need automobile manufacturing just to manufacture private vehicles. You need it for buses, commercial vehicles (like actual commercial pickups) and so on.

      With self driving tech becoming production ready, we’ll likely see a huge boost in self driving buses, smaller vans and so on to provide high frequency public transit to low density areas.

      We need an automobile industry for that in Canada.
