Yeah, you still need to transport items, and people that do things with their hands, but surely in most first world countries, these things are a minority of road traffic.

If you can get those chokepoints out the way, from dystopian 10 lane traffic jams to an overcrowded tube train, everything else would run so much smoother.

I would totally love not to be in a traffic jam, especially while on the clock as I don't get paid for the drive time to and from work.

Well, cargo bikes are a thing. You can transport whole fridge there.
