It’s not your or any others singular car forcing anyone to drive. It’s the expectation that an adult person can drive and needs to use a car that forces or at least pushes everything towards driving.
If the design and soundscape of almost any space weren’t impacted negatively by cars I wouldn’t think they’d be forcing anything onto me. But that is reality even in nominally not car dependent inner city Germany. So that’s why I hate cars.
The problem is it’d all work better, be cheaper, more livable … if more of that infrastructure we pay for would not be car infrastructure but almost anything else.
Or coming at it from the other side, just because a lot of the transportation upstream from my consumption is car infrastructure does not make it resonable to allocate the lions share of infrastructure spending on it, especially because everywhere any alternative exists to road infrastructure it’ll be more physically efficient by default.
Arguing for car use for transportation much like continuing to argue for oil gas and coal electricity generation is shortsighted and ignores the problems with car infrastructure, and the viability of alternatives, just because car infrastructure is how transportation currently is conceived of in much of the world.

They do this for festivals and construction sites and such in conjunction with the typically fossils generators nowadays. Not everywhere but it definitely exists. Exactly like described: Shipping container, batteries and inverter inside, 4 legs, and 2 Shipping container long solar arrays mounted to a frame. Set the container down anchor the legs put the panel frames up connect some wires and your ready to go.
I’m pretty sure you could just buy that too if you wanted a head start on your off grid cabin.
Ever come across the phrase the banality of evil ?
Tbf their state was changed / weakened/ worsened/remade by British Soviet and US meddling.
Like blaming a child for not having their shit together when the parents are using them as a pawn in their divorce battle.
Perhaps accurate but lacking all nuance.
Cellular in cars as far as i know is mandated to have the sos function. Since 2015 as well. So that’s not gonna be an option if you want to sell cars in the eu.
Now this regulation exists to make cars more profitable not necesarrily to make the cars safer but its still mandatory.
