Answer:

-possibly made us more lethargic and less inclined to walk distances that are our ancestors from hundreds and thousands of years ago would have trekked with little complaints

-has possibly made more impatient, we can now cover long distances in a much shorter, have items or food delivered to our houses within the hour thanks to the vehicle

-it has helped us irreversibly establish and solidify our place in the animal kingdom as the smartest being but also the most consciously reckless and unforgivingly self-destructive one too (we know the effects of the pollution we create, we know we are only expediting the process of our planetary demise, and yet we keep sitting still in a burning house because somehow our animal instincts to run away from or do anything to prevent danger and death no longer kick in)

-the vehicle (trains, planes, cars, boats, etc...) is our primary mechanism of establishing and maintaining the process globalization that erupted in the 18th century, thus making the culturally and ethnically diverse human species into one large conglomerate of interacting, exchanging, fighting, bargaining, and sharing little entities that learn and steal and compete

-the mass-produced car and other vehicles are fundamental pillars holding up the ever-evolving and oscillating capitalist machine of the global economy = this has made us ruthless but innovative, dehumanizing our factory workers into simple cogs in the wheel of the assembly line. Making a minimum wage paid worker repeat the same lifeless actions over and over again over days and days and years and years, just for the sake of more product, capital, supply and demand takes a toll on the cultural alignment of humanity and machinery
