The point is that driving should not be required to live a full life, and in fact it's much more pleasant to live without cars everywhere.
The goal of driving is to get from point A to point B. But when point A and point B are a 5 minute walk, why drive at all? Well, in America we designed our cities and suburbs to make the distance between A and B as large as possible. But we didn't have to do that!
