Changes

The automobile industry forced nations, starting with the [[United States]], to develop good streets and roads.  In the U.S. especially the industry created a vast network of new and used car dealers, repair shops, and [[gasoline|gas]] stations, not to mention GPS devices, [[motel]]s, drive-through windows, shopping malls, and many businesses catering to customers in autos.  The auto gave consumers a much wider geographical range, leading to the decline of isolated rural stores and the rise of small cities as regional market centers.  Automobiles enabled employees to commute to work without reference to [[bus]]es, [[tram|trolleys]] or [[train]]s, opening up the suburbs to settlement after 1945.

However, increased automobile use has also added limited amounts of [[pollution]] to the air, led to a rise in injuries and fatalities in traffic accidents, took more land, and resulted in a rise in congestion on the roads. Although automobile fumes do cause an increase of smog in urban areas, they do not contribute to the theory of [[Climate Change]]. The [[Left]] generally opposes cars, claiming that they add to the issue of "[[Global Warming]]", while also claiming that those who do support cars are selfish and greedy. These arguments have been proven wrong on many occasions<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Lo0ieyQtQ</ref><ref>.
