If one of the major problems with cars is that they create smog and other pollution, as well as clog the roads with their sheer number and that everything would be much better if everyone drove on public transport, then maybe public transportation should be free. Maybe then people would use public transportation and save everything and everyone.
But what would AI cars solve? Maybe they would solve a lot of problems in the US and Canada. You see, in the US and Canada there are these things called "stroads" which are a mix of street and road built so that cars can go fast, but they can not go fast because the road is passing by houses where cars come in from the driveways, cars coming from perpendicular roads, traffic lights, which results in frequent car accidents, jams, and overall small traffic. But if the cars were intelligent and could communicate between themselves, then maybe that could be avoided by them making deals of who does what when, so that there wouldn't even be a need for traffic lights.
Anyway, here's more about this stroad problem

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
