yeah, imagine we had spaceships for everybody already (now about a century overdue).

we could drop off and auto-park them in orbit, have them come back and pick us up. plenty space in space.

while we're at it... how about a dyson ring?

or just make cars more efficient space using (no big bonnets, per user, folding and vertical parking, etc)

or... bicycles? :)

or... walking? :O

plus robust public transport to meet needs.

better to have all, and freedom to use as whichever most suited to needs, than to be forced into any subset of all possibilities.

Once the car is designed OUT of the equation walking, cycling and mass transit are easier; if the present car park was apartments, people walking less than 5 minutes could 1/2 fill the auditorium.

The United States has a very unhealthy relationship with cars, which is what the auto industry wanted all along. :/

not for everybody. (e.g. disabled people with various ilk of social-anxiety/agoraphobia/autism in forms making public transport no solution for mobility issues).

hence my advocacy to

leave all options available,

and not force people into any subset of the options (e.g. you have to use cars, or, you have to use anything but cars).

And encouraging those who can use non-driving methods to not drives opens up car-oriented resources for those who need to drive. 👍
