Typical hackernews to have threads full of well meaning but ultimately misguided people saying ah we have some technological solution for this.
The solution to this problem and every other problem caused by driving is not driving. Period.
Not driving doesn't require any new technology, it just requires getting serious about alternatives to driving. (safe, separated bike ways, ebike and micromobility subsidies, rail, public transit, better urban design, less subsidies to cars and trucks of any kind etc etc - all of these have a self-reinforcing positive feedback loop that lead to even less driving)
