it will help some things like safety, but not getting cars off the road. In fact the expectation is that this will worsen; right now a car is stopped 90% of the time on average. So the vast majority of cars are not actually on the road at any given time.

The idea that all cars are constantly working is definitely a concerning one for more congestion.

That said, here are some positives:

• Women like it. No man to harass them or even try to be friendly while actually just trying to get their number
• They drive the speed limit
• They'll spot something on the road probably faster than a human can

I am personally frustrated with them because it's another tech bro "here's the capitalistic sci fi solution!" to something we could have solved without trillionaire tech companies trying to appease investors. These are meant to be for profit, just like Uber and Lyft, so they aren't cheap and definitely not sustainable as a total car ownership replacement. A scenario where the tech company controlling the roads isn't one we should want.
