Let’s make the cars much bigger then, so big that you can stand upright and walk through it! When they’re so big that it makes no sense for Joe Schmoe to drive it, let’s hire drivers for them. Since it makes no sense for every household to hire their own drivers, let’s pool all the houses in the neighbourhood to use the same Big Unit Suv. Since nobody needs to be in the same places at the same times, let’s run this Big Unit Suv on a schedule, where it’ll be at specific places in specific time frames. To speed it up a little, let’s redesign the doors to optimise for being able to get in and out quickly.
Attach a few of those “buses” (lol such a silly name) together in line. And this - train? I dunno - long thing of “buses”, is so big, we should keep people who aren’t using this “train” (I’ll workshop that, so weird) from getting too close, maybe it runs in a specific kind of lane of its own!
Nono, bigger cars are used to transport more important things, they should be subsidised.
The hit to society would be too great if we allowed all those fragile egos to shatter without their precious protective shells, consisting of multiple tons of gas-guzzling steel.

The “race to the bottom” by getting bigger and bigger cars (which should also be much more heavily taxed, but aren’t).

I just invented a bus, didn’t I?

inb4 she runs over her own kids on the driveway because she can’t see them over the hood of that thing. (hopefully not though!)
Your children are important, the children they crush due to lack of visibility are not
