If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Cars sure as hell don't work for someone who has cognitive issues.
But at least you can get taxis. The car-free utopia leaves out a lot of people like disabled and elderly.
Car-free utopia doesn't mean, can't mean no roads and no taxis. Taxis are actually the important part of that car-free utopia. It just means you aren't expected to own your own car and use it as the prime source of transportation.
This is where public transit would come in. And it's not like most of us want to do away with all final mile delivery, emergency vehicles, etc. We just don't want the car infrastructure to be the primary concern in the design of public spaces.
Straw-maning the elderly and disabled for car use is also interesting, as those are probably both groups that either shouldn't or can't drive a car for other reasons.
