I want to live in a world where I can drive wherever I want, whenever I want without having to schlep all my stuff to the bus stop.

lol wat, lived in nyc for years. you either rent a car, get a cab, or hire people. owning a car that sits and takes up space during the 90% of your life you aren't driving is inefficient and stupid

That sounds like a miserable way to live. There's a whole world outside of NYC.

Most people on this planet don't live in dense cities like NYC, and still need an affordable way to get around on their own in order to hold a job, get groceries, etc.

Most of humanity lives in urban settings.

The UN in 2018 estimated 55% of humanity lives in urban settings. The EU estimated 76%.
