That's great. If you are in the US it isn't going to happen at a meaningful scale. Best we can do is larger scale self driving mini busses for public transport and single user self driving vehicles for expediancies. Use existing infrastructure but work to eliminate human driving (save that for track driving for pleasure) and enforce heavy pedestrian priorities so foot traffic and bicycling becomes easier and safer.

Your defeatism mindset is a large part of why it's not happening right now. Stop posting this shit so that progress can actually be made.

It might happen. Manhattan just introduced congestion charges and it apparently made a big difference.
And places that we now think of as bike and public transit focused cities in Europe were very car-centric in the 70s. I don't know why or how they changed, but they did.

You are going to get cities that allow oligarchs to extract as much money as possible from you. That's what you are going to get.
The US had voted against having this
Cool I can ride a bike to buy fudge. Now get to Mackinac without a car. Whomp whomp.
you see, if the City does that then it's the city's responsibility to maintain, both the infrastructure for transportation and the transportation itself. With cars, they only do infrastructure
Can we get free chocolate bars with the tickets too.
