I'm not sure where truck traffic fits in this equation. As for the others, you're probably right. That said, we don't necessarily need to get rid of cars. EVs

I'm not sure where truck traffic fits in this equation.
As for the others, you're probably right.
That said, we don't necessarily need to get rid of cars. EVs are much less pollutant than ICEs, both in terms of air and noise. They don't solve tyre pollution.
Getting rid of (or massively reducing the reliance on) cars might have other advantages though. Less honking, for one. Probably less police, ambulance and firefighter sirens since it's likely to be less traffic. Fewer people shouting with other drivers. Busses can be made fairly silent. Trains, especially underground metro ones, are not all that disruptive to the general city life.
Again, I'm not saying any particular solution is necessarily correct or desired. I just went off and tried to picture what it could look like.
