And FWIW, about 95% of the surface of a freeway is empty at any given time. Fully-autonomous driving allows each vehicle to safely drive closer at speeds and to use less slack during slower traffic. If anything, a human driver should thank autonomous cars for increasing traffic density while maintaining the same speed. Humans are the ones that cause lots of slack in traffic. > pissed off drivers cutting you off Not a wise move when fully autonomous cars are wired with cameras facing every direction and recording capability. Then again, I can imagine the inverse effect of this article where autonomous car owners are paid a revenue-share for reporting evidence of a traffic violation (like being cut off by a pissed off human driver).
