A friendly reminder that cars are still highly destructive, whether powered by petrol, battery, or hydrogen, and whether driven by a human or automation. The only real environmentally, economically, and socially responsible solution is to drastically reduce the amount of trips made by car, by introducing road diets and modal filters, by having mixed-use medium or higher density zoning, by building high quality safe separated bike paths, and good quality, frequent, affordable public transport.
Also, keep your pets on your property. If there's no way to keep them from leaving your yard, keep them inside. It's better for them (they live longer on average, even if you control for the increased likelihood of getting run over) and for the environment.
