I am not convinced there will ever be a universe where we are "getting rid of cars." At best, I think, we decrease emissions associated with them.


I wonder if people said something similar about horses back in the 1850s New York: “At best we breed horses with that don’t leave as much manure on the streets”, DVDs in the early 2000s “at best we make better recycling facilities and our landfills won’t be full of plastic” or oil lamps in the 1840s “at best we will be able to find a plentiful hunting grounds where we’ll never run out of whale oil”.


> At best, I think, we decrease emissions associated with them.

You are saying at best make them less bad, but used just as often? Forget other universe, what about the other countries that successfully do what I speak of?
