Increased popularity of WFH probably helps a bit. You can order groceries to your house pretty easily as well.
(Sorry, that came off snarkier than I intended. Online ordering of food just kind of outsources the driving, doesn’t reduce it. Different maybe for delivery trucks that serve multiple houses per trip.)

The cynic in me says there is huge interest in having an annual Covid vaccine like the flu one. They'll just change spike proteins every year in a never ending game of cat and mouse. With mRNA that game is easy and profitable.
My contribution: I think we have been destroying trust systematically for so long that people are losing their sanity. Finally it is time to rethink our foundations and stop coercing. Currently there are various things that take trust for granted and they will need to become a great deal more persuasive if they want to retain their status moving forward (examples include: governments, currrencies, science, etc. - basically central coordination built on a foundation of coercion, science was the last bastion but the "education system" has become a certification system).

- you need a license - you usually need insurance - there are a large amount of laws dedicated to driving - there are often dedicated police to enforce those law - cars themselves have a huge number of mandated safely systems Etc
It's normal that something causing so much death would have a large amount of regulation

Was there some massive scandalous plague of side effects caused by a carelessly approved vaccine that I missed?
