that sounds right. Tire rubber microplastic generation would go way up, though, because of the vehicle weight.
I propose small motor scooters (as is common in asia) as the solution. Cars also take up a godawful amount of space, all the time. Especially in a city. That's the real harm, the tailpipe emissions are trivial compared to the space consumption.
Trivial compared to space consumption... in what sense? That sounds very difficult to compare. I also live in New Mexico, which is a huge state full of next-to-nothing but space, so perhaps I'm missing context.
