Eh, we will need transportation for goods to stores and deliveries to offices.
But I am all for banning personal cars in cities.
I have an idea for a completely infeasable new type of city, it would be super cool, but at the moment I believe that only China would have the resources for it.
The city would need to be planned from the start.
Building it would start with digging tunnels beneath the new city, there would be four levels.
For system 2 you would have a system with driverless trains, with stations at every block or where a big customer would be, you would also need to build an underground transfer point, where trucks and trains would arrive and goods would be sorted to local freight lines. At the customer stations you would have a system where freight cages would roll out to individual locked cages for local customers to pick up and walk back to their facility through underground walkways at the same level.
As the city grows the first underground transfer point would be demoted to another sorting facility and the truck access would be cut off.
