Remember, not everyone lives near a city center...

  This is true but becoming less true over time. Though it will be interesting to see if self-driving cars reverse that trend. If a long commute becomes a pleasurable chunk of me-time instead of a grueling slog staring at the brake lights in front of you, maybe people won't place such a premium on living close to work.

    for density in cities to increase, more public transport is simply needed. Cars are a terrible way to get around in a crowded city. The city is far too dense to drive easily, cars take up way too much precious space and are huge increasers of smog. In germany and other european cities, they already started banning diesel and other high pollution vechiles from entering major city centers because of both smog and congestion issues. This kind of ruling will only increase.

      EVs will address some of these objections. Autonomous driving will take care of the rest.
