CHAPTER

Critical Car Theory: Assigning Fault to Systemic Causes

In this chapter, they discuss a concept called 'critical car theory' as a way to make the ideas of Marx and systemic classism more understandable. They use the example of car accidents to illustrate the idea that fault cannot be assigned to one individual in isolation, but rather to the entire culture, industry, and mindset built around driving cars. They then draw parallels between critical car theory and critical race theory, highlighting how both theories attribute fault to systemic causes rather than individual actions.
