Is safety different from a Smart car? Some people drive velomobiles, some drive regular bikes, some drive electric scooters.

Car was always overkill and will always be unless there are two of them or there is an ability to hire bigger car conveniently. Or there are more places to park smaller car.

In Europe speed limit within towns is 50 km/h and often smaller in residential areas. That's entirely different mode of transportation from 90 km/h outside, which is yet different from autobahns.

Waymo Firefly was just a thing you've described. Time has not come yet. Until than I'd better bet on pedestrian only zones, bike lanes, low emissions zones, congestion charge, paid parking lots.
