If the sentient cars in the movie 'Cars' depict other vehicles like tractors as 'animals' (cows), then they must have spontaneously and rapidly evolved as a species within the last 100 years, with Lizzie being one of the original propegators as horses/carriages must not have existed at all.

A crazy thing that happens in your 40s is noticing that there are a lot of well-adjusted, mature adults that are 10 years younger than you. They used to be naive kids. And now you’re basically at the same level.

Humans are easy to navigate in a crowd because you can instantly tell where they’re going, faces point forward, backs mean they’re moving away. This cue makes huge difference. If we moving sideways like crabs with no clear “front” at a glance, crowded places would probably turn into total gridlock.
