How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness
Briefly

"Extreme car dependence comes at a cost, to the point that the downsides outweigh the benefits. Driving more than 50% of the time is linked to lower happiness."
"The results were surprising, Saadaoui said, and could be the result of a number of negative impacts of driving, such as the stress of navigating roads and traffic."
"Having a car is better than not for overall life satisfaction; however, having to drive too much negatively impacts happiness levels among Americans."
"This study found that while car use can enhance life satisfaction somewhat, exceeding a certain threshold leads to deeper unhappiness for many drivers."
