alt-hist: a world without cars

You could vastly reduce car usage by increasing regulation and taxation and avoiding the 1950s era decision to design cities for motor vehicles.
Avoiding WW1 and WW2 with their huge jumps in mechanisation might also help.
A combination of localised communities and good public transport could then account for most people's transport needs, leaving motor vehicles for local freight and the elite.
