Completely driverless traffic would seem to be the logical conclusion.

There are many benefits from a community organisation perspective, assuming it all works.
Many (including I) will resist
compulsory vehicle automation. Some (many? I dunno) humans measure their self worth by their skills and abilities. They will demand manual control of their lives (travel included). Nothing against auto travel for any volunteers. Hell, even I'd take a
JohnnyCab sometime, if the need arose.
I don't know if I'm stretching the argument too far, but this seems akin to abolishing real food, and putting everyone on a perfect balanced diet of pills/IV fluids. More... efficient, you know...
