I can't seem to find the original source, but I read years ago that a surprisingly small percentage (I believe 4%) of drivers just leaving excess headway was sufficient to mitigate most congestion-causing traffic waves. It makes sense to have robots be the ones driving in that counter-intuitive fashion.

Makes sense from a basic flow rate / bottleneck perspective, but people will still race around others to late merge 10 cars up and cause everyone to got to a full stop...
