Well yeah, that's the point. They want to enshitify cars and make driving as expensive and as annoying as possible to force people out of cars. They know they can't just ban cars outright, so they enshitify this little thing this year, mandate this other thing the next year, add a new tax/fee the next year, add a new restriction the next year, reduce speed limits the next year, etc., etc., all in the name of safety / "save the kids", until decades later they finally get to where they want to be.

Lol no they don't, governments still think automotive industry is great, and of course so do the owners of these industries.

Who is "they"?

What is their motive for wanting to "force people out of cars"?

You forgot the bike lanes that take up road space but nobody uses. Every socialist mayor's favorite anti-car policy.
