American Car Culture:
None Dare Call It Murder

Ryan Cooper / American Prospect:
The Death Cult of the American Car  —  It's obvious how to make the roads safer for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers alike.  We just don't do it.  —  There are too many cars and trucks that are too heavy and tall, driving too fast on streets that are too wide, with too many points of conflict.
Cars & guns, baby.

I'd go up against a fuel-injected stingray ... in my eMini. Off-the-line, quarter-mile, whatever-the-truck. And you can keep the gas-guzzler

Once you go electric you'll never go back ...

Every car is a potential weapon every motorist a potential psychopath.
