Quantity
Quality
Since the XXth century the production of cars doesn´t stop growing.
Thanks to the current economy people buy one or more cars. As we can see in the first document the worldwide automobile production from 2000 to 2015 (in millions) was doubled in 15 years.
That gives to the majority of citizens the possibility of being transported faster and in a more comfortable way.
We can observe that the population is growing at the same time as car´s production, so we can say cars are becoming a very important instrument in our society.
If we talk about quality, we can see we have vehicles with better performances that enable to drive in a more comfortable and secure way.
Unfortunately this big quantity of vehicles provokes a lot of pollution. The CO2 emissions from cars increase the problems of climatic change. As we have seen our society produces a lot of cars which help the citizens but we have to point out that just one car contaminates too much so we can imagine how high has to be the contamination provoked by millions and millions of cars driven all around the World. In addition the sound in the cities also is growing. That is more problematic than people may think. Several scientists and experts dealing with the matter, and numerous official bodies have unanimously declared that noise has very harmful effects on health. Its affections are not only due to its direct effect: discomfort, communication and attention problems or sleep disorders, but also those related to prolonged exposures: chronic fatigue, insomnia, cardiovascular diseases, immune system disorders, anxiety, depression, Irritability, nausea, migraines and behavioral changes - hygiene, intolerance,aggression, social isolation.
On the other hand, it is to underline that cars take a lot of space in the street, if we observe how many people occupy just one car the average is 1,2 person for car.
Fortunately there exist electronic cars which permit to retain pollution levels and to avoid sound contamination but they don't offer a solution to the space problem. There are also other transport alternatives like the bycicle.
To conclude we can say the quantity of cars is increasing in parallel with the World population. Concerning the quality we have seen that technological progress is increasing constantly. But unfortunely that provokes a lot of problems which is necesssary to change. Thanks to these two documents we can observe the importance to find a balance between quantity and quality to solve all the problems exposed.

OK, José.
