People are much more adaptable than you pretend.

People can't make cost-effective options appear by sheer willpower.
They can bike short distances, but longer trips would depend on access to vehicles they don't own, whether transit or other people's cars.
If you give them enough warning they can adapt. But for a change like this the only solution for many people is "don't live there, good luck moving".
Th number matters for whether it's feasible to implement.
In a large sense everyone is a bad driver.
> People don't need cars. This is a luxury they based their life one. They can adapt the other way too.
People are stuck in situations that need cars. Adaptation without external help would take decades. Tens of millions would suffer badly.
With enough change cars could be turned back into a luxury, but right now they aren't a luxury for most people in the US.
