Cars are unsafe at any speed. We need to ban them.

It's a pretty reasonable long-term goal in many areas, like cities. There are pedestrian-only streets near me already. We just need a long-term vision and the infrastructure to follow it.

You can certainly reduce the presence of cars in certain areas and improve the design of cities to this end. But just saying "ban cars" is idiotic.
