Why not have both? Fast public transit for busy routes, and self-driving cars that bring you to/from public transit?

It's a false dichotomy.

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic but this only works in specific cities. Lots of cities have issues with sprawl, weather, lack of bike lanes, or even a place to lock your bike. It's also extremely difficult to do with a young family.

Only in warm climates.

Also good luck carrying your children on your bike.
