once self-driving cars become the standard, intersections and merge points can be optimized for much greater efficiency, which will reduce traffic. also, speed limits will be eliminated.
Merge points maybe...but merge points are, by definition, bottlenecks. Even hyper-optimized, you are still limited by geometry.
And definitely not intersections...despite what the fancy visual simulations propose. You would have to eliminate pedestrians to even get close to that.
