[T]he meaning, ethics, beauty, and the great "WHY" of such tech.
Meaning, ethics, and beauty are second-order effects. Automotive and transport tech are engineering, which is fundamentally pragmatic. According to Jeff Goldblum's character in Jurrasic Park, 'can' is less important than 'should'.

Anyways, it's a poor logician that blames his tools.
