Oh good it can sit in traffic autonomously.

Once these become mainstream, you won't have to worry about traffic anymore. Inconveniences such as red lights will be a thing of the past. Although some may still choose to have their own vehicles, many drivers will likely all have an autonomous vehicle service that takes us to and from our destinations each day, as that will eventually become the most economic option by far. Those that choose to have a vehicle of their own will eventually have to either purchase an autonomous vehicle or convert their existing vehicle. You will get to work (if you are not already working from a home work space by that time) and home much faster. Some of the children born in the last few years will never need to drive a vehicle or have to own a drivers license.
