Even if the cars drive themselves there's still not enough lanes to let them flow right now, much less in 20+ years. There was a study done that found Seattle's needs _22_ lanes of highway to meet the current demand. However because of how the highway system was originally built through the city we're stuck with 6-8 lanes at best. We need mass transit to get cars off the roads and reduce traffic.
