The more human drivers that are replaced by software, the less congestion there will be on the roads. It's delays in human reaction times which cause cars to back up on roads and take forever to get through intersections.

- pmyjavec 10y agoI still don't see how the cars are going to entirely solve the problem of everyone needing to be in the same place at the same time, they still have to cope with each others presence, unless they can fly. In my opinion a good public transport system does. I've spent time in Tokyo, the rail network is second to none, it's congested sure, but it works. The problem is that people still need to get in and out of the cars for example, which means there is still wait time. Breakdowns will happen. All humans drivers will have to be banned etc. It sounds to me like the auto-industry is still pushing a selfish agenda and the valley is buying it, because it's an opportunity to take more money. For me, I'm happy because I'll still ride my bike and it will be a much safer place for me to exist because self-driving cars won't try and kill me, hopefully :)
