"WE are grieved indeed, grieved, shocked." Chicago Sun-Times

In its Sunday edition, the paper published a summer reading list with the titles, authors, and descriptions of 15 books. But it turned out that 10 of those 15 books do not exist.

Thanks Claude! AI is being helpful...

I believe you might be thinking of "The Machine Stops" by Ivan Illich, or more specifically parts of his 1973 book "Energy and Equity."
The key concept you're describing - that mass car ownership can be self-defeating - is most famously articulated by Illich in his analysis of what he called "counterproductivity." He noted that beyond certain thresholds, technologies like cars can actually work against their intended purpose. For instance, when everyone has a car:

Traffic increases to the point where trips take longer than walking
Vast amounts of space must be dedicated to parking and roads
Cities spread out, making distances longer
Walking becomes impractical as infrastructure is built for cars.
