Why do we favor composition over inheritance?

With composition, a single car can have multiple commands (start and stop).

2) If you use inheritance, all of the public methods/attributes of Car would be visible from your class. With inheritance, you can choose what is visible.

Inheritance makes changing the definition of the method and sub-classes easier. I am the 1%, I enjoy inheritance.

One reason is you can change the object at runtime. Also, extendeding two classes is messy.

Inheritance would cause the commandCar to be a car, instead of a controller which is what it seems to be.

You have more control over the object with composition vs. inheritance.

Composition allows CommandCar to inherit another class

Composition allows multiple implementations.

1) You can extend your own class if you aren't using inheritance (lack of multiple inheritance in Java).
