When there are a lot fewer cars, congestion will go down. Cars will be shared. Sort of a Uber without drivers. Why own your own car?

Will there be a lot fewer cars, though? Assuming you want to achieve the same throughput, you'd still need about as many cars as there are at rush hour today.

To get less congestion you would need fewer journeys, as this technology is likely to make travel cheaper I think we can expect the opposite.
