Many of the problems with cars are inherent to the nature of cars, specifically, how large they are relative to how many people they carry. E-scooters scaled up would not cause the problems that cars do.
That I can easily agree on.
Though the reality is that the the e-scooter usage has not led to significantly less cars on the road. Instead they mostly replaced bikes, public transport and walking. Numbers vary from country to country and city to city of course so this is a generalized average.
This means though that they are not making anything better but instead making it all worse because I do not recall ever having had this much trouble with badly parked bikes in the past, even in a big and bike heavy city like mine.
So while the concept is great it fails because they don't replace cars but instead just add another way of ruining public spaces ON TOP OF the fucking cars.
