[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume they are either a) incredibly wealthy (e.g. have always lived somewhere super walkable like NYC or can afford a private driver) or b) are incredibly poor and have to rely on walking/public transport.

I guess there could be some younger people who are really progressive (like GGW style) and build their lives around biking, using public transport, Uber-ing, etc.

FWIW I would love to be rich enough to just never need a license. I hate driving. I feel so plebeian doing it. I don’t care how fancy the car or how open the road, there’s nothing glamorous about car culture. [/quote]

Having known a few people who never learned to drive, it was about one of two things:
1)  having grown up in a city using solely public transportation and taxis, never having had a car, and therefore seeing no need or ability to get a license
2)  the "oh I'm so scared of driving" people who profess that they are too fragile to drive.  Those people don't get licenses and don't even know if they could drive because they never tried.  They constantly ask others for rides even though they don't live within walking distance of public transit (not even a bus).
