Just to be clear, I do think the obvious solution to terrible things like this is vastly expanded public transit so that people don’t have to rely on cars to get everywhere, not overhyped technology and driving aids that are still only marginally better than a human driver. I just thought the article was interesting.
Have you tried ordering ahead and picking it up? Get some panniers on your bike and the whole trip would be super quick since you can pull up right to the front.
With a properly designed city, most people? With mixed zoning, people could live right next to transit or where they work, and main attractions (grocery and whatnot) could also be along the transit lines. Ideally, everything you’d need would be within a few stops, and everything else you could just order.
