Yeah that should be wonderful for the traffic over there...

  Luckily public transit is amazing there.

    Yes it does. And there's still a lot of traffic. The two aren't mutually exclusive. The public transportation is not relevant for the discussion of personal vehicle transportation though.

  Are you implying that Tokyo already has a lot of car/truck traffic? (It does not.) Or implying that Waymo meaningfully increases traffic? (I doubt it.)

    Are you kidding me? I lived there for 5 years. Tokyo has an immense amount of traffic. And yes Waymo increases traffic. People in SF were putting cones on them to disable them because of it, there's tons of videos of them causing traffic jams. They are famously overly cautious and often stop and do strange maneuvers. Recently one held up Kamala Harris' motor brigade for quite a while until a cop moved it.
