Seems like we need all the transportation improvements we can get and that a single mode of transportation would not suffice.
Blind, old, drunk people, people with kids and or lots of groceries, people traveling long distances, and actual kids cannot simply take an e bike (I have two and love them btw).
People going on ski trips or with significant luggage cannot hop on an e bike.
So I for one welcome the reduction in pollution, cost and human error an electric autonomous car can provide.
I also think that vehicles could be much smaller, but still electric and autonomous vehicles which would agree partially with what you seem to think would be best.
A autonomous electric capsule that is weather protected traveling in its own protected lane programmed to go anywhere in a city seems ideal. These would likely be more efficient than buses and more precise in destination.
I’m astonished nowhere has done this, at least to my knowledge
A bicycle does all the things an electric capsule could do and much more. You can add weather protection to a bicycle if you need. You can add electrification. No need to reinvent the wheel.
