The wider use of self-driving cars will improve traffic, as they will fully follow all traffic laws and speed limits, not be distracted by phone calls, texts, passengers or outside stimuli, and keep the proper distance from other vehicles.
Ultimately, artificial intelligence can provide efficient carpooling by aggregating data on riders and routes. At least we can dream.Of course traffic will be worse when fleets of self-driving cars arrive in L.A., just as traffic got palpably worse in the summer of 2012 after private Uber and Lyft vehicles started clogging L.A. streets.
Yeah and they don’t stop driving either.

I would say make sure they are accident proof first.. I would then say make cars, suv private for the drivers as in the movie Timecop as in Jean Claude Van Dam
Their singleminded dedication to driving unsafely, free of distractions, is remarkable.
