I will always argue that self-driving will increase congestions. There are so many behaviours that are on individual level superior, but on large scale worse. Send car to park somewhere cheaper doubling the number of trips. Have it circle around waiting to pick you up... And as felt cost of just sitting in car goes down, time spend in car can go up.

It will probably nearly eliminate individual car ownership which will free up a ton of real estate currently used for parking. Which will probably reduce congestion inside the cities. It may also reduce highway congestion because we can engineer it such that it knows how drive unlike most people on the roads today
