America is a car-dominated country. It's not just because cars are awesome. Politics, lobbies, even seemingly unrelated laws have all helped make that happen.

The article from CNBC, published on February 13, 2025, titled "How America Became So Car-Dependent," explores the historical and systemic factors that have led to the United States' heavy reliance on automobiles.
