People can't stay out of their cars. I do think we have a real problem staying out of our automobiles. We have a real dependency on them, and it may be for more than just transportation.

There's no way we could take cars off the planet and not have our society fall apart. So they're a necessary evil, in that sense.

There has been a huge advance in technology, which has improved the safety of the cars incredibly, but there are still some heavy crash impacts and in certain circumstances there is still the chance of fire today.

A car is a killing machine. It's like waving a loaded gun. People don't realise how dangerous they are.

Modern motor vehicles are safer and more reliable than they have ever been - yet more than 1 million people are killed in car accidents around the world each year, and more than 50 million are injured. Why? Largely because one perilous element in the mechanics of driving remains unperfected by progress: the human being.

Yeah, it's risky, but no more risky than driving a car.

Normally in dangerous situations I have a getaway car.

Mass transportation is doomed to failure in North America because a person's car is the only place where he can be alone and think.

Even when they're not causing injury, human-controlled cars are often driven inefficiently, ineptly, antisocially, or in other ways additive to the sum of human misery.

IndyCar is what it is and in the back of our minds we all know it is a dangerous sport.
