The Use of Automobiles

Topic : People in today’s world have become too dependent on automobiles.
It has passed more than one hundred years since the first mass produced automobile was invented. In my opinion, it’s acceptable for people to use automobiles more frequently than they used to. I feel this way for three reasons, which I explore in the following essay.
First of all, living without motor vehicles is nearly impossible for people who live in the countryside. Public transportations, such as trains and buses, have been abandoned these areas because it has been no longer profitable due to lack of passengers. In addition, grocery stores, train stations or public facilities are often located far from residential area since the use of automobiles are taken for granted. That’s why they are forced to drive a car whenever they go.
Secondary, it has become common among young people to borrow a car as necessary. Most university students obtain car license before their graduation in order to use it as an identification card. Most of them can’t afford to buy a car or pay parking fee in the city, so they use the car sharing service which allows them to share ownership when they need it for unintentional purposes.
Finally, driving a car is getting more safe and ecofriendly than it used to be. Car manufacturing companies make an effort to develop new models equipped with autopilot technologies and lithium ion batteries in order to curb global warming. As a result, people who live in continental countries today are likely to go travel with automobiles instead of airplanes.
In conclusion, I don’t think that people are too dependent on automobiles because it's necessary for local community or unexpected events. What is more, automobiles have become more safe and ecofriendly.
