> but reducing congestion is not one of them. Quite the opposite, actually.

The premise of that is to increase vehicle usage efficiency, hence reduce the total amount of vehicles on road and reduce congestion.

Additional autonomous vehicles applied in public transits will further improve traffic flow (on demand vs. fixed scheduled services, reducing empty runs etc.)

Yet every time we increase efficiency by building roads we end up with more congestion. Can we outrun this problem?
