Car - The new head of the family

In earlier days, there used to be a concept called "head of the family". The idea behind that is, apart from him/her being the only earning member, that person used to be the member with the most wisdom and who cares for the well being of the others. Gradually this concept faded away as every person has their own jobs, ideas, way of life and thinking. Earlier the idea was that the head of the family used to keep everyone together, inspire them to follow the same path, protect them from external influences and keep them safe. In this modern age, this is an extremely difficult task just for one person

Now imagine the car. In this age of varied thinking, independent thought processes, life styles and personal freedom, Car is able to bring all the members of the family together, trying to move them together in the same direction, protect them from outside noise, weather etc. (imagine playing light music in the car while there is a big thunderstorm outside), try to keep everybody safe. Who else can achieve all these in this time and age. So as time went by, Car emerged as the new head of the family
