High school sociology teacher would say that the remote garage door opener was the death of American society because it eliminated the last remaining opportunity for chance interaction with your neighbor when you no longer had to get out of the car and open the garage.
To piggyback off of John's point (reposted), it's struck me lately how the baseline level of friendliness in cities has always seemed remarkably higher than the suburbs or rural areas to me, and I think it's because everyone is used to interacting with strangers as a routine part of their day

I'm actually a proponent for electrifying only when you can't feasibly replace anymore car trips. A diesel bus replacing 10-30 car trips reduces your carbon footprint much more than replacing a diesel with an electric. Diesel buses are also cheaper to procure and thus expand service.
