What is the difference between a private car and a personal car?

[–] HardlightCereal -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A private car is owned by a corporation. For example, a CEO's limosine would be a private car. Or a plumbing company's van. A personal car is owned by an individual.

So, how do you propose workers get to farms etc? Buy every single labourer a company vehicle? How do people who live on their farm get into town to go shopping etc?

I think farming is one of the few applications where horseless carriages make sense, but they obviously have to be 100% electric in order to stop climate collapse.
