No, I'm saying over-use of it was damaging to the planet. The advent of automobiles created a lot of good things - it allowed cities to become more spread out for one thing, rather than slums and tenement houses that were packed on top of each other. On the one hand this was good. On the other, it gave rise to urban (and suburban) sprawl, but I blame unchecked human reproduction for this more than the automobile or any technology per se.

Virtually all problems boil down to one simple truth - there are too many damn people on the planet. Way too many.

If our numbers were more sustainable and supportable, the negative effects of technology wouldn't be multiplied so much and it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

Back on subject, I think overall cars have been a zero-sum game. The bad aspects are more-or-less offset one-for-one by the good aspects.
