Will Tesla's Autopilot System Change Vehicle Use?

Driverless cars will almost certainly lead to much greater travel, assuming they are personally owned, as most cars are today. But what about vehicles on sale today that already have partial automation? Will people use these cars differently? Will they drive them more than non-automated vehicles? Are they part of the reason traffic congestion is worsening? Early evidence suggests the answer could be yes.

Total vehicle usage varies significantly between these users, as indicated in the figure below. We found that frequent and very frequent uses of Autopilot drive many more miles per year compared to other drivers, logging 4200-5700 more miles than other Tesla owners, and 3300 more than drivers in vehicles less than five years old.
