I think a carfree city of the future will be about adoption of new technology--not a throwback to old technology. Drones will bring food that's ordered over new types of devices. People will go out mainly for fun and exercise, using a mix of old and new technology. Like bikes and driverless buses, with some trips on self-driven taxis, controlled bu Uber or some successor to Uber.

And this is just technology that is almost a reality. We can't even imagine what will exist in 2050, let alone 2100.
A world where cars dominate the landscape is bad enough. I don't want a bunch of drones cluttering the skies. I think birds will enjoy it less too and it may stress some species quite a bit.
