What you say doesn't matter. The actual outcome of autonomous fleet driving is "more cars per road." With a bunch of autonomous drivers and no human ones, the driving distance can go down (until things go wrong - more discussion below) which means the effective speed can go up. Get a human in there, though, and it all goes wrong. Suddenly you've got a freeway full of tailgaters.

Many of the glorious promises of "autonomous driving" presume that "human driving" is illegal.

That's an entirely different discussion.
