I think new uses and new users will continue to abound, so I don't think humans will radically reduce their consumption. One evidence of this is just the sheer number of cars on the road these days. Human population is increasing, and an abundance of cheap ICE cars means everyone is driving to work at least in suburban areas. In the past, busses and bikes were selected because cars weren't economical for certain individuals. Now nearly everyone at our office drives a car by themselves to work. No more car pooling, biking, ubering, bus, train, walking, etc.

  In Nassau County NY where the majority of buildings here are either single family homes or corporate office buildings with giant parking lots. Of course just 30 miles east you have NYC where probably less than 5% of people drive to work or own a car, period. But on a geographical basis, most of this population center is designed for cars and it is very common for a 1 hour trip (60 miles) to take 2.5 hours during rush hour(s).
