Many people under 45 don't have the same requirements for transport, though. It's easy to say you don't need a car when you're mobile and don't have to ship kids around.

We try to minimize our car usage - we have one car for our family of 6; I ride an electric scooter to work etc. Not having a car at all though would be basically impossible unless we decided to cut out the kids sport and traveling to visit family.

You're still way ahead of the game compared to so many American families. Most of my neighbors have more cars than licensed drivers at home.

We aren't going to eliminate cars in my lifetime (hopefully I've got a good 40 years or so left) but if we can get more households going car-light that's still significant progress.

More cars than drivers isn't really a problem once you're past the 1:1 ratio, as obviously they can't all be used simultaneously.
