It's more complicated then that. For the U.S.: the urban sprawl and urban planning makes it impossible to not use a car for many people.

The old, European cities have a bigger chance to go carfree. Some are actively working to it (e.g. Paris or Ghent), some are trying (Brussels), others are not even trying (Antwerp).

In the long run, I hope car use will decline (so that only emergency services, nuts services, ...) need one - for the climate, for our health but mostly of all: a carfree city is a pleasant city.

Have a look at https://social.notjustbikes.com/@notjustbikes , who does great videos about it.
