There is a large number of disabled people that are physically unable or legally not allowed to drive, but can get around pedestrian spaces and public transport just fine. This includes most wheelchair users and blind people. The point is already moot. Also if you can use a car, you could use a mobility scooter or electric wheelchair, and you will greatly benefit from denser, more developed pedestrian areas featuring amenities such as elevators.
