Do most people hate because they view it as less efficient means of transportation then by horse? Or that cars replaced their job as a horse keeper?

I don't think it's self-evident that we've gained by switching from horses to cars. For most of the trips one makes in their daily life, the ubiquity of cars just means that you now have to travel greater distances. Plus the environmental devastation that cars have wrought. Are we really better off?
