I didn't say that there were millions of cars each day. I said that there were millions of people who drive in NYC. 43.5% of households in NYC own a car[1]. That's approximately 1.3 million households[2]. When you take into account people driving in from the surrounding areas and households with multiple drivers, there are almost certainly at least 2 million people who sometimes drive in NYC.
