This is silly, Autopia is not a significant source of pollution. This is like the plastic straw thing.
If you want less problems from cars and oil, build real car-free infrastructure and leave the charming novelty alone, it makes as much pollution as your yard care company does with it’s blowers.
Noisy and smelly cars exhausting particulate matter into the lungs of children is your idea of a “charming novelty”? Yes, it’s a drop in the ocean overall but it’s a bad look and Disney should be selling a better future and not just reinforcing our disgusting past (and present for that matter).
And on your leaf blower point, frankly they should be all electric at this point, both because of their pollution but also the extremely annoying noise that people around them have to suffer.

Ever been to a campfire? Roast some marshmallows? Should we ban that too?
There’s a huge difference between building a society dependent on dirty death machines, and a play area where death is nearly impossible and people are exposed to (the same pollutants from the vehicles all around the park) for a few minutes. Even if we get past the car era, don’t be surprised to see racetracks and car dedicated areas. This isn’t going to change overnight and concern about a Disneyland ride is a distraction from important work.
This is another population thing IMO, campfires aren’t inherently bad and are a part of our evolution. They become inappropriate when you have too many people.

Sure… But it’s a ride in Tomorrowland. It’s a travesty that those things aren’t solar powered hovercars or some shit.
Is it in Tomorrowland? lol

I think California did ban campfires. At least all fire pits in residential seem to be propane now, no more wood.

Race cars are going ethanol-electric hybrid and full electric. So, no.
Some will, sure, that proves nothing. Humans will race everything.
Ban campfires? Yes.
