Seems like the [Zardoz's] OP's YouTube posting pretty well lays it out...It all starts with 'Capitalism' (?)...Then came the Buggymaker's; They figured out the 'Better Buggy'; replace the horse with an 'engine'.
Speed up transportation ! Trains and trolley's were imited by those darn tracks! So invent the 'Bus'. It won't need those tracks, and can roam all over with out a dedicated right of way. Creating individual mobility! The Buggymaker became a Car Company! So everyman could have their own car! [Or maybe,TWO?]
Along came General Eisenhower[34th President from 1953 to 1961] After seeing what the Autobahn's contributed to Germany; he pushed for the 1956 Bill in Congress for the Interstate and Defense Highway Act which created our system of about 41,000 miles of limited access highways. Giving Americans access to roam about in their privately owned transportation; eventully, putting passenger trains on a path to demise(?).
