Better for people with physical handicaps

At least the people with handicaps that can still drive.

It actively makes the transportation landscape worse for those without hearing or sight or a mobilty reducing handicap that disallows driving.

Yeah, reducing car usage would be much better for all handicapped people (those who can drive get better traffic.)

And there small low power cars for people with disabilities that can drive that are still safe for people around them. In some countries like Netherlands they can even use the bike lanes.
