I agree!
The problem is we need a different transportation solution, one that doesn't involve 2000 lbs of machine to move 200 lbs of human. And, that is adaptable to the different lifestyles we all lead.
Doing things the way we currently do results in a minimum 90% waste because of the work expended moving the vehicle (average 10 times passenger weight) that serves no real purpose.
Don't know what that solution is, but I'll know it when I see it.
Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.
