The thing is you can use all of these for different use cases.

I have a car which I take to anywhere I can park easily (which is a lot of places in the city if you avoid downtown).

I don't own a bike but I know many who do, and just take it inside with them. Roads are dangerous for bikers but not moreso than every other city in the country.

I use uber/lyft only when I know I'm not going to be sober, which isn't that often (once a weekish).

Plenty of people I know use public transit, though only some routes are useful/safe.

Self driving cars are still very early days and I'm sure they'll work out the technical issues. The fact that they're owned by big tech isn't a problem for me and most other people.
