The train mention is important. My understanding (and my experience, from the few trips I've made to Europe) is that your transportation infrastructure is generally much better than ours in the US, and thus driving isn't nearly as much of a requirement. (Plus there's not as much of a sharp divide between walkable cities and car-dependent suburbs like we have in the US.)
I'm sure there are significant regional differences within Europe, of course.

In the countryside cars are still mandatory. Trains once were reachable from many small villages but many stations have sadly been removed. I hope the train network will improve, or at least not degrade. I like being able to go to work by train every day, and I also like being able to finish my day job in the south east of France and be able to reach north west by 11 PM, doing my stuff or sleeping during the trip, and planning to do this only a few days before.
