Why are cars getting bigger?

Why are cars getting increasingly bigger? What used to be small cars for example Nissan Micra, Ford Fiesta even the MINI are huge compared to their previous versions. In a congested part of the world like Western Europe, You see so many large cars usually only with 1 person in them (the driver) why are governments and car manufacturers alike not pushing to make small cars more of the norm? 1 or 2 seater cars. Similar to a SMART CAR, which i think is perfect for today's world. You can fit 2 smart cars in a parking space designed for 1 normal size car.

Airbag light on, steering wheel controls not working, and horn not working. Covered under warranty?

I have a 2016 ford fiesta with about 13000 miles. Last night when i was driving home from work, i noticed that my steering wheel controls were not working, nor were they lit up. I can hear a crackling sound when turning the steering wheel. Today when i started my car, the airbag light was on and the horn is no longer working. I'm guessing the clockspring somehow got damaged. Is this covered under the warranty? The car is 10 days away from being a year old.

Added (1). If it's not covered under warranty, how much would it cost to get fixed? I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow.

I put my car into park while moving?

So I went to stop and I thought I was stopped and accidentally switched to park. I heard a few clicking sounds, but I drove home okay and my brakes seem to be working fine. I have a 2012 ford fiesta. If that helps. I think some cars have built In things to kind of prevent damage from this? Please tell me what to do. I don't want any part of my car to be damaged.

Ford Fiesta is falling apart?

I have a 2009 Ford Fiesta that recently just conked out on me while I was driving, it didn't stall but completely shut off. Steering was heavy and tried to restart the car. When I did this a cog with an exclamation mark popped up in orange, so I panicked and restarted the car again - worked fine. After a couple of hours, I checked the oil levels and all that. So I went out and left the car off and locked - now my headlights are not working, is this all connected? Someone please help!

Can Ford tell if a car has been clocked?
