If people bought cars for their median usage, they'd buy cars with like 1.2 seats and that top out at 70 km/h.

That would not be a bad option to get smaller compared to the small tanks that people are driving right now.

Cars are one of the most inefficient form of transport anyways and driving almost never makes sense on large distances.

Instead of a large flow of people driving 600km to go to the same place with a single seat used each only once per year, what you would want is public transport instead on those routes, that would be more rational.

I remember in Taiwan they had roads and overpasses for scooters. You could rework cities to support small low speed vehicles.

The US could build more mass transit.

As the work from home vs return to the office struggle shows bashing business to relocate closer to where people work has some merit.
