The 1950s suburban experiment through cheap money (new suburbs brought in short term influx of cash for cities/counties), massive subsidies of highway infrastructure, subsidies for automobile industries, redlining housing policies, and “white flight” pushed people towards driving.
It can be reversed. Believe it out not, prior to the Industrial Revolution people got around just fine. Somehow the auto industry convinced people their dangerous machines in the hands of commoners was a good idea.
