I can't point to a single transportation expert period. Nor can I point to a single city-scale simulation of autonomous vehicles. I wish I could. Because I too live in Seattle. And before we decide to spent 30 _billion_ dollars on light rail over 30 years I'd really like to know that's the best way. What if we instead spent 30 billion adjusting infrastructure to support autonomous vehicles? What would those adjustments even look like? God I wish I knew. I'm pretty sure Uber/Google would even build the study for us for free. I live a mile and a half from a light rail station. In another 6 years I'll live 3/4 mile from a light rail station. And when that day comes it will STILL take twice as long for me to walk and rail to work than to drive. It takes three times as long by bus. And that's with me working right beside a transit center. God help me if it required a second transfer or a walk on the other end.
