Cars will eventually move out of major cities due to congestion naturally as public transit and ride sharing improves. The only thing laws like this do is hurt a minority of gear heads (which will move out of the city if the laws affect them), stroke the egos of a few politicos, and drive ad-revenue to clickbait either praising or condemning the measure depending on what internet bubble you live in.
I don't condemn speeding up the process via governmental process, but singling out diesel is a half measure, might as well go all the way you pansies. Levy a congestion tax on all drivers like London does, tax all polluters equally whether you live in a city or not.

But that means only the rich can travel because they can pay to pollute.
