In the USA, and other countries with wide-open spaces like Australia, the automobile is a requirement in many areas. In Europe, for instance, in most places you can walk a few blocks to buy groceries or take the train for longer trips, but in rural areas in the US, you might have to drive 50 or 60 miles to buy groceries and supplies. In Australia, trips of 100s of miles to buy groceries are not uncommon. For this, the automobile is not replaceable.
