I see the problem more with making people slaves to machines that need constant maintenance, upkeep, repair, fuelling etc that are restricted to designated pathways whose only purpose is to make governments and billionaires more money while turning people into spiritual bees mindlessly serving techno-capital.

You are very deep into the matrix, so far that you love being enslaved to it. There is a better world where you can exist without needing a car, like our ancestors did for thousands of years until capitalists (and communists) decided to enslave people to the machine for their own benefit.
