Efficiency for one. The problem of traffic is completely due to people having control of their own vehicles. Having something automated where cars communicate with each other would be better.
If we do reach a point where cars can drive without people in the car at all, then we wouldn't have to worry as much about parking. You just get dropped off and the car parks itself. Even better would be if a fleet of autonomous cars were a form of public transportation. A lot of parking in cities could be eliminated in that case.
Sure, most drivers do suck. Can't entirely rely on own safe driving to prevent accidents these days. But I would (in an ideal world) assert that most of the focus and investment be diverted to making fast mass transit available everywhere. Perhaps these efforts will coalesce.
Mass transit is IMO the best solution, but those are almost always city and state funded projects. Autonomous cars are all the private sector, who would love to sell each individual their own car, plus rental cars, selling cars to businesses, etc. Not nearly as much money in mass transit for them.
