You could say that, but as the "soul" is a fabricated concept I'm not sure it really advances your argument.

I don't think people are offended by anti-automobile arguments. They just don't think such arguments are anything but fantasy. I don't believe there is the slightest chance any of us will see a world without private vehicles. Cars will eventually disappear, but only when replaced by new forms of personal transportation. Absent apocalyptic cataclysm, human society will not move backwards.
