True, but there's a difference between owning a car and taking a car. Flying and driving will be a lot more sustainable once that goes electric. If lots of people take autonomous vehicles to get from A to B and we can find ways where that is sustainable; I have nothing against building more infrastructure to support that.

In any case this article was about road congestion; not about saving the planet. When it comes to that, I don't really believe in technical martyrdom where people voluntarily choose to not do lots of things they would like to do as a solution. And making you feel good about you through voluntarily declining to do certain things is nice and nobel but more of a form of hedonism than a practical solution. Nothing wrong with that but it's not a scalable solution in the sense that in the bigger picture of 7-9 billion people not following your lead, it's going to be statistically meaningless/irrelevant unless you convince them otherwise at unprecedented scale.
