The fact that self driving cars exist is an admission that driving a car can really suck. Navigating busy suburbs and cities in a car is a stressful experience, especially when people are commuting to or from work.

I don't think cars should be completely eliminated, as they have their place, but the existence of self driving cars is strong evidence of the insanity of the car being the only feasible way to get around some parts of the world.

Personal cars and communities are mutually exclusive. Cars make sense in places too sparsely populated to have a community, or where people don't want to be part of a community.

The reason places are too sparse is because cars. They take too much space.

I understand where you're coming from, but some of the strongest communities are in rural places where public transport is unfortunately not a sustainable option.
