The headline is terrible (the article is fine). No one is claiming the cars kill the insects (apart from, possibly, the OP given the community they chose to post this in). They’re using cars to measure the decline.
I dunno… When I go for a walk along the local highway in Spring (like now) I’ll usually see a dead bee around every… ten or twenty feet. And the bees are light enough that they get blown around by semi trucks passing, so they probably get blown off the road in short order.
Yeah, as many bugs as cars kill, there’s no way they have such a huge effect on their population. Pesticides and loss of habitat are mostly to blame.
