Hi Tom (or Alien, for purposes of this communique),
An automobile is a steer-able and stop-able motor propelled people-mover on wheels. People sometimes insist on additional style points and creature comforts unless for some reason they have no access to an automobile, in which case, almost any people-mover will do. Really smart people/aliens know the very best feature on an automobile is 'paid for'.
As for your car question… it’s wild to me that we want self-driving cars but not a robust public transport system. Cars are made to be driven and enjoyed. Once you’re not driving, you’re so much better off on a bus, a train, a taxi, or a tuk-tuk.
