That seems like a very strong statement. The air pollution from rubber and brake dust is minimal relative to the emissions from combustion engines. You seem to be arguing "there's no way to continue cars because we won't get them to 100% clean and silent". It's not that having quieter cities and no pollution are bad things, but having those as your goals eliminates many good options that address other laudable goals (like substantial reductions in pollution and noise from EV's).
