Agreed, the vast majority of US population travels more than 5 miles/day.
Once we are down to the subset like the person I responded to who claims to need a car AND to only travel 5mi/day or less.. maybe! Or I mean, isn't this why we have uber?
If one was to drive only 5mi/day at 30mph, that means the car is not in use 99.31% of the time. Only driven 1,825 miles/year. What percentage of Americans drive less than 2,000mi/year? The average is closer to 15,000mi/year.
Dealing with costs&time for car, insurance, regular maintenance, registration, emissions inspections, etc... for something you don't really use? A lot of these are fairly fixed costs regardless of mileage. Probably end up spending like $3/mile TCO at such low mileage rates.
