I've always imagined that a "human-centric" city of the future would simply move most of its automobiles one level up or down. Many dense cities already have subways. It'd be expensive but not inconceivable to move all car-width roads into an underground level or onto dedicated skyways, although the latter seems more likely to create issues with lighting and whatnot.
