You're under the delusion that every car carries those with "lives as vivid and complex as your own" --- why? There's absolutely zero proof of this. None.
"Sonder" is an artifact of a deluded mind, tricked by the world to believe in its boundlessness and complexity. Most of these "people" didn't exist before you saw them, and will cease to exist soon after. Anyone who tells you otherwise is off.
Eerily off.
