If we could wind the clock back a century, and avoid the total takeover of the US transportation system by automobiles, that would be a good thing.
While we await time travel technology, what we can do now is advocate at every opportunity for improved mass transit in the US, and promote the transition to EVs for those that need cars, which is going to be most of us for a long time.

While shared ownership and public ownership is the ultimate goal if the US had chosen the early electric cars over the Model T our situation may have also been very different now.
