What critics are saying about The Love Bug

There's a really weird message in The Love Bug that not a lot of other stories have taken. The surface level morality is that of avoiding pride. Jim Douglas is boastful even though he kind of sucks at driving.(I love that this blog allowed me to wax poetic about the problem with sentient cars.) How good can Herbie be as a moral complex being if he just keeps using people to win races? With Jim at least, it is a symbiotic relationship. Ideally, he's finding kindred spirits whose goals tend to align with his, but why not just stay with Jim?
