    I'm further saying that with non-automated cars in traffic, the grouping is already maxed as it is.
I don't understand.
    your fleet pulls a lot closer to the wide spacing than the close
This either. I'm assuming the automated cars will bunch up together and drift off each other. That right there reduces congestion, and the greater the percentage of automated cars, the more reduction (compared to a field of 100% human drivers).

I'm not trying to be argumentative; I agree with most everything you've said here. I should also say that as an experienced embedded programmer, this whole idea scares the crap out of me. I'd still like to see it happen, but colour me skeptical.
