Public transit requires dedicated routes, which sucks if it doesn't go where you want.

Self-driving taxis can pick up multiple people going to the same place and take them there no matter where they want to go.

I agree that to some degree that public transport can't solve all issues, but it can get you far enough that congestion becomes much less severe. It should be the primary means, not the only.

Of course the US has a lot more problems with implementing public transport that aren't easy to solve and are rooted in zoning/city planning. Single family home suburbs don't have the density to justify public transit.
