I read several articles saying that even in America the younger generation is not that tied to their cars. They prefer to live not in suburbs but in more central neighbourhoods where you can walk the streets, sit in cafes, etc. This is a new trend.
Of course any public transport is not that flexible but if someone introduces driverless taxis it would be an ultimate solution. Such people will not use their cars for weeks or months even if they own them.
And in general I think that psychology of a city dweller inevitably becomes more "European" comparing to a farmer of someone living in suburbia.
Cars? Why? Guns? For what? Just enjoy life socializing. Look at Seattle. It's very different from the surrounding State. There people are more interested to discuss weed control than gun control :)
