How on earth do people go to work if they don't drive
Walk, bike, scooter, train, tram, metro, trolley, bus. Plenty of countries can swing public transportation and plenty of people don't need to drive but still choose to.
Edit: It occurs to me now this person may have been sarcastic.
I drive among 12 different locations for work. Can't really give up the car.
Then you don't fall within the 'don't need to drive but choose to' segment. I don't fully agree with the root comment of this thread, there are definitely some jobs that require a personal vehicle, and yours sounds like one of them. But for most people who are commuting twice daily, more environmentally sound options can replace their personal car.
