Hence why I’m talking about Tokyo. Not Japan. Living in the countryside basically requires a car by definition. People also often have a car, but don’t use it that much. Maybe you’ll get more interesting numbers if you compare miles traveled per person?

Found only for 1997, but increases the discrepancy to 1:2.5 : https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar4.htm

Tokyo would have a tough time existing in a world without cars, trucks or roads. Its economy depends on that access.

There is no tradeoff between self-driving cars and a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure rebuild.

I will agree with that statement but mostly because you added trucks in when the original complaint was about car dependency.
