The
costs of automobile usage, which may include the cost of: acquiring the
vehicle, repairs and maintenance, fuel, depreciation, driving time, parking fees, taxes, and insurance, are weighed against
the cost of the alternatives, and the value of the benefits – perceived
and real – of vehicle usage. The benefits may include on-demand
transportation, mobility, independence and convenience.

Similarly
the costs to society of encompassing automobile use, which may include those
of: maintaining roads, land use,
pollution, public health,
health care, and of disposing of the vehicle at the end of its life, can be
balanced against the value of the benefits to society that automobile use
generates. The societal benefits may include: economy benefits, such as job and
wealth creation, of automobile production and maintenance, transportation
provision, society wellbeing derived from leisure and travel opportunities, and
revenue generation from the tax
opportunities. The ability for humans to move flexibly from place to place has
far reaching implications for the nature of societies.
