Not really. Personal cars are just not a sustainable solution. Personal electric cars are less worse, but still are large machines toxic batteries and still require massively more energy than is necessary for the task of moving their comparatively small human occupants. They have a large embedded carbon and ecological cost.
We need better density and better transit so they aren't necessary for the vast majority of people. Besides, cars are miserable in cities. Cities with extensive metro systems such as Paris or New York are far more livable than ones like Los Angeles or Seattle.
