In the US? Not a chance. The political momentum in the US overwhelmingly does not want to fix this.
There's only one place in the US where you can reasonably ride a bicycle for transportation and (usually) not share the road with cars, and it's a tiny island with population ~500 that banned cars in the late 19th century. And even there, emergency vehicles, like the one in the OP, still share the road with bikes.
