Just venting, but holy hell are cars the stupidest “hobby” I can imagine.

Are they though?

The more I’ve read about human psychology - particularly about “flow” - the
more valuable manually driven cars seem.

Similarly to how many people are actually happiest / have the highest sense of
self-worth while at work (even though they’d scream otherwise), a lot of
people are able to relax and think freely while driving. And in general,
humans seem to enjoy having control over G-force (whether jumping off of
cliffs, flying planes, riding roller coasters, driving...)

Interesting take on automotive tech and psychology from Nicholas Carr’s “Glass
Cage”, reviewed by NY Times:

I never thought of it this way. Thank you for providing some perspective, it
made me reflect on my thoughts on the subject.
