There is no evidence to support this theory, and in fact the opposite is likely true. Full self driving would lend itself tremendously to increased public transit options. And tremendously lower car ownership.
- rootusrootus 4y agoLike Uber? Real FSD would just give us the same result as ride sharing, but on a far grander scale. In other words, gridlock.
- okwubodu 4y agoIsn’t most traffic caused by cascading human error? I assumed true FSD would be a mesh net where every car broadcasts its next move to its neighbors.
- rootusrootus 4y agoOnly if humans are banished altogether from the roads. In which case the current attempts at FSD are pointless anyway and we should focus on building the infrastructure for simpler automated cars. As it stands today, every current automated car in existence is quite a lot more timid than a typical human and will cause gridlock very quickly as a result. An awful lot of driving relies on behavior assumptions that computers aren't good at making yet.

- freejazz 4y agoNo, it's caused by the fact that too many cars are trying to go into places they don't all fit.
- endisneigh 4y agoRide sharing is already “self driving” from the end user perspective and has increased congestion. The actual technological full self driving function is an implementation detail.
