It needs to be convenient. I personally don’t want to bike or walk 5 minutes in the snow with my toddler and bags before driving every time.

I used to bike or walk to a carpool car quite a few times. But I was driving back home to pick my family and bags.

Yes, luckily it seems cities are slowly starting to realize that allowing cars everywhere and infinitely widening roads is not scalable and, more importantly, does not create a pleasant environment for people to be outside in.

The future is definitely creating more walkable/cyclable cities and improving public transit. Self driving cars have the potential to make things even worse by generating new car trips that otherwise wouldn't have been made.

Car company combined with out of city center parking company combined with bus / electric rental bikes.

This is a much more modern city design pattern!
