The issue is no reliable data can easily be found ( closest for me was this -https://www.statista.com/statistics/183505/number-of-vehicles-in-the-united-states-since-1990/#stat https://www.statista.com/statistics/183505/number-of-vehicle... ) suggesting that neither of us actually knows. Sounds to me like a bad reason to base an argument( or policy on ). - I know that most people I'm aware of all drive their car by themselves to their work, there was very little carpooling. how many of those are suvs? and then we go bk to use case. there is a reason soccer moms exist. u focus on work commute and likely on metro areas only but fail to account for other activity types

Here some data - it's 1.5 people per vehicle in one study[1], 1.45 in another[2], department of energy says 1.67[3]. So a little higher than my assertion, but not much at all.
