Get rid of privately owned cars and you might be on to something. If the state owned a fleet of self driving cars you could rent at the car library, that would probably be better than everyone having their own car they park somewhere most of the time.

Building walkable living spaces with mass transit would be better for more people environmentally, economically, health-wise, socially...

Until Trump or equivalent decides you're not allowed to leave the city because you posted some nasty things about him.

Forcing non-private ownership means everyone is at the mercy of the state allowing them to borrow transport. How long before the Gays aren't allowed to drive? Women can't drive? That's the future your espousing.

Well, nobody's gonna be able to afford an actual working autonomous vehicle, and it won't make sense either economically or operationally to privately own one even if they could.
