There's no point to allowing private cars in cities anyway. Just ban the lot of them.

So - how do they get in and out of the cities?

Massive parking lots at the edge of the city. At least this was the recommendation of the Berlin Autofrei initiative.

Park and Ride mass transit in. It's the only compromise that can be made, really. No cars beyond allowing registered work vans/trucks and emergency vehicles.

One way or the other it's inevitable. We either voluntarily (sic) shut down inner cities to any traffic other than the aforementioned due to obvious reasons, or, if AI can ever actually drive us, than we go all iRobot where humans just physically can't keep up with the speeds and the windows blacken out.
