Assuming you live in Southern California, the suburbs, or pretty much anywhere in America, we are still very reliant on cars.

Some thoughts:

1. Walking is supreme

First of all, is the ideal life for lifestyle in which you just don’t need to drive?

For example, currently I am very lucky that I could just walk to the local gym. This is good, as while I walk, I gain many interesting thoughts and ideas during my walk, I could think more, it aids in my digestion, and also I could blog while walking, or even blog while walking.

First thought: the more time and steps you could walk in a given day, the best.

The most privilege lifestyle is a life in which you could walk 30,000 steps a day, or maybe be outdoors 12 hours a day.

2. Is there any benefit to driving?

A simple thought is that a small commute is actually good. In someways, there is some zen while driving. For example, I actually do enjoy driving a little bit every single day, whenever I drive Cindy to do yoga, visit the local Costco business center, etc.

Also a fun innovation that I’ve been doing is doing some vlogging while driving, I just put my GoPro hero on Ultra Wide mode, and I place it where I typically put my phone GPS mount.

Thus, driving a little bit every day is good, maybe a total of 30 to 40 minutes a day, combined.

3. Modern day work

A lot of people in modern day life, must commute to work. But, should this be the case?

For example, if your job just allows you to work anywhere where you have a Wi-Fi connection, why drive or commute or be stuck in traffic to get to the office? To me this is insanely bizarre.

Takeaway point

To drive a little bit every day is good, but it seems the goal should just be to reduce the total time.

Perhaps this way, having a Tesla or auto pilot is actually not necessary. Maybe better to have some sort of cheap manual transmission car to just get from point a to point B, and to actually enjoy driving.

The question:

How to reap the upsides without the downsides.
