This may be true, but reduced car ownership will not solve many issues with cars, like the vehicle miles travelled. If we don’t change our lifestyles, we will still emit a lot of CO2. Here is a Dutch graph (maybe you can translate it, otherwise let me know!) showing that only that the production of the car causes less than half the CO2 emissions for EV’s (the second to last one in the graph).
If we want to reduce emissions more than that, which we really need to do, we need to find something else, like biking, which is way cleaner.
Once self driving cars are perfected, car ownership will plummet.

Cities need to be designed to be bikeable. Yelling at people to bike more while living areas that designed to kill them is unproductive.
So… Never?
