    "Reduce traffic" means "fewer cars on the road."

I'd say instead that it means "A to B faster". What do I care how many cars there are? If I get there faster, there's less traffic.

Autonomous cars have great potential to reduce traffic by driving together, closer to each other than people can do safely.
