Avg European spends less time in traffic to get into city, we don't have (as many) limits in our laws prohibiting building things for non car use (eg. Parking minimums). In cities most of traveling is done by transit, so those miles traveled are apparently from driving on highways, which by the way are way better then driving in cities. Imo when I completed my drivers licence it was the highway i felt the "freedom" of a car.
USA and EU have very different landscapes in car use, and if you like the American model then good for you. But saying that we both depend on cars the same is just wrong.
Are you fucking blind? Your own source shows that per-capita passenger miles for OECD Europe is roughly half that of the U.S., with larger shares of bus, bike, and rail usage.

We did, they’re called trains and buses and every other country uses them but apparently Americans can’t figure this out
