Yeah but you're assuming that people aren't using their driving commute the same way.
A sampling of things I've seen drivers doing when I used to have a car:
-Reading the Bible on the steering wheel (he's gonna need it for that eventual accident anyway)
-Reading the newspaper (perfectly folded up like on a subway too)
-Playing a Gameboy
Mind you, all these things were splayed open on the steering wheel. One winner was driving with his arms through the steering wheel and holding the book up against the dash with his hands, while driving in light traffic.
Nowadays I live in NYC and walk to work. Exercise and no pollution.
