Theoretically autonomous cars will decrease congestion through better driving patterns and maybe coordinating with each other, meaning we could support a lot more traffic with the infrastructure we already have.
- ams6110 10y agoThe operative word is "theoretically." It remains to be demonstrated that thousands of independent autonomous vehicles can really operate in congested areas more effectively than human drivers. AFAIK none of the current autonomous control technology coordinates in any way with other vehicles or any kind of central control facility. Human drivers using Waze is probably the closest approximation of that to date.
