Self driving cars may also help fix traffic issues. With fewer accidents, cars able to communicate with each other, and no overly aggressive or timid driving to cause slow downs, an entirely full freeway might be able to flow at high speed.

That is, how many cars can a system accommodate where the cars drive perfectly, vs how many cars driven by humans a highway can accommodate. I wonder if this analysis has been done somewhere.
