Self driving cars might actually make traffic worse because people can live farther away where houses are cheaper because now they can work or sleep during their commute. This means any given section of road will have more cars on it becaus

This idea that the right is voting against their best interest needs to die. The thing the left forgets is that poor people don't vote[1]. So what you have in these "poor" red states are lower-middle/middle class people
