By reduction of traffic I thought you were referring to the phenomenon of actually being "stuck in traffic". I don't think we're going to necessarily reduce the actual number of people on the road with autonomous self-driving cars. But traffic flow should be smoother and definitely safer. And if all an autonomous grid reduces is number of deaths from accidents every year... than I'm happy with that. Other than that, you're definitely challenging some of my assumptions about driverless cars, specifically in regards to cost. However, I still think they will happen and re-organize our transportation grids.
