I agree with you that the idea seems intuitively like it would be better, however I'm skeptical that it will work and that it is the 'correct' way to run traffic.

To quote your own example, this will be controlled by the government, which takes a long time to do physical infrastructure projects. So I would lately just assume it's not worth the investment dollars.

That’s the best part. The pooled driverless EVs doesn’t require any physical infra for the govt to build or buy! It’s one reason I think we’ll get to a more optimal future vs public transit which requires big govt programs and building.
