This is quite the conundrum isn't it. I've always felt that, as a society, we should always be pushing for the most efficient allocation of resources. I think that we should be using ground tires in our asphalt, that our cars should actually be built to last, and that the economy in general should expect people to spend their money in a lot more rational and cautious way. Sure such sweeping changes would also bring with them some serious challenges, but at least it'd all be in the name of progress. And what does this really say about us as a society to be apprehensive of progress? Like c'mon, hurry up already and bring on the hover cars... I'm getting impatient.
