Which is already served in a more than reasonable manner, that an automated car won't significantly speed up.

Depends a lot on infrastructure and governance. Where I live (moderately large city in France, but still serviced by Uber too), you go faster where you want by bike or buses than by car. Notwithstanding that it is more sustainable (economics).
And Uber does not go much in the countryside. Buses do.
Hardly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Paris
The average public transit rider in Paris spends over two hours a day commuting. In most of America, drivers spend half that time. Replacing the current mix of cars and transit with point to point vans would dramatically speed up commutes.
Going by a mix of foot, bike, bus/metro has _always_ been faster, more flexible and less costly than by car.
The only exception is when you've got a large/heavy package to pick/deliver.
No amount of additional cars will improve the trafic there.
"The average amount of time people spend commuting with public transit in Paris, for example to and from work, on a weekday is 64 min. 15% of public transit riders, ride for more than 2 hours every day."
Getting where you want to go in a timely manner is a human need. Currently people fulfill it with private vehicles, because buses can’t get you to work on time. (Part of the fault is government-when I lived in Delaware, bus drivers would randomly decide to end their shift early and skip all the remaining pickups. The other part is structural limitations in the nature of bus service.)
