A single delivery truck carries 100-200 packages, if everyone drives to the store instead, you'd have 100+ cars on the road. There is a huge difference.

I am not sure that there would be a so huge difference, especially outside some big cities and especially if you add also the public transportation to the game.

But maybe I am wrong.

It would be quite large. The vehicles per household would decrease to about 1 instead of over 2.
