you do realize trains, trams, and bicycles were invented and saw widespread use way before cars, right? The solution to transport wasn’t and isn’t cars, it’s railways and bicycles.
And it’s not “some” road repair, it’s a stupendously massive amount of constant road repair that costs so much that it has driven multiple american cities to bankruptcy and innumerable places simply cannot afford to do it at all, hence why so many roads are crumbling these days.
You’re the one inventing made up things to satisfy your own beliefs.
