I personally would prefer it, too – I actually don’t own a car, and live in a european city (Kiel, Germany) ;)
I’m trying to look at it from the american perspective, because I’ve long given up the hope that any non-american perspective is even considered relevant on here.
Actually, self-driving cars, while nice, won’t really improve your abilities inside the city – you’ll still use bus, metro, etc.
The "transport hub at edge of the city" is already a common concept over here, called "Park+Ride", with parking spots usually at places which have bus stations and train stations or metro stops.
