I can imagine whole city areas well known closed to manual drivers.

Sure I would love to read a book while car is driving me to visit family in the countryside but practically I need city transportation to work and back, to supermarkets and back where I don’t have to align to a bus schedule and have 2-3 step overs but plan my trip 30 min in advance and have direct pick up and drop off.

If that would be possible then I see value in not owning a car.
