Maybe with self-driving cars it’ll be more doable as the cars can drive themselves to-and-from their hubs and charging point, etc.

But we’re still a while away from that being widely achievable.

In Europe the roads and parking are nightmare in most places, so I’m not really a huge fan of it, but it’s really the only option for freedom for the foreseeable future.

Sadly the likeliest outcome will just be governments continuing to make it more and more expensive to get a licence, own and insure a car, drive in cities or on motorways, etc. until it becomes the reserve of the wealthy again, just like they’re steadily doing with air fares too (increasing air fuel duty whilst exempting private jets). So the rich can drive their SUVs and private jets whilst the working class are trapped in overcrowded cities, in their tiny pod apartments eating bugs all in the name of the environment.
