          Those can use the personal mobility helpers (personally I’m fine even with small electrical quadricycles using the bike infrastructure in urban areas), unlike some people with disabilities that can’t drive a car - fuck those right? But good try.

          A car is not a wheelchair.

          What about a proper social net that provide the help people need.

          Or just grocery delivery, some supermarkets are offering free delivery for people above 65 in France

          They can stick to cars, that makes sense. But in the US, only 17% of people live in rural areas. That’s not a trump card.

      I walk to get groceries, to the doctor, to the dentist, to the pub, to the park, to see my friends (or ride bike)

            So in other words you live in a city and therefore an area where walking and using public transportation is possible.

            Not everyone lives in a city, can afford to live in a city, or is in a position where simply moving to the city is an option.
