No. It's not. Pushing down car ownership might be good, but not based on wealth. Priority should go to elderly, people with disabilities, people with kids, etc.
Even so, the goal shouldn't be fewer cars but less miles driven.
The kind of antagonistic approach you prescribe rarely leads to good policy.

Cars are massively subsidized, and requiring that they be safer reduces some of their externalities a bit, raising their cost and lowering that subsidy. That's a good thing.
