In a few ways, no.

Taxis/uber etc. are all built as "regular cards". It requires at least 2 people in there. How often is actually more than 1 person in a car? Wasn't that like 2/3 of all drives?

Now let's assume we have specialized cars for just a single person - that saves a lot of material, fuel, and also (parking) space.

But that only works if you don't OWN the car, because if you own it, you might sometimes have to have passengers right? So you always get a big car that is not needed in 2/3 or so of the drives.

That aside, having another driver is annoying for various reasons (e.g. privacy).
