why would congestion change if all the drivers were fully autonomous? It's one thing to have a fully autonomous driver, but having them coordinate perfectly to have good throughput even in dense traffic conditions is another altogether. I think this second goal is much farther off and if the articles I've read on autonomous vehicles is any indication I expect they will drive more cautiously and slowly than most human drivers when they finally "go live" in a widespread fashion |

They won't get stuck at left turns, on-ramps and rotarys due to an inability to use the skinny pedal to its full capacity.
That won't solve the sheer numbers problem but it's probably a solid sized constant factors improvement.
