There does, and it does, but that doesn't really seem to be the point to me. This is very much a "loud exhausts correlate to dark triad personality traits" kind of story. Or perhaps more like how everyone knows they participate in actual atrocity and torture against vulnerable individuals but just keep buying their corpses.

You do realise the government can just ban cars above a certain size anytime they want right? Like I can't buy a tank and drive it down the road, or a car that is wider than the size of a lane. All they have to do is adjust the limits to weed out the dangerous and inefficient models. Sometimes talking apes are far too stupid to allow their non-existent critical thought to self-regulate their actions.
