It's going to do neither of these things either. Claims that it would are kind of insane. More traffic means more time at risk and more cost when it comes to cabs.
Butt one of the biggest use for cars is going to the airport with luggage and/or going out with friends on evenings to get drunk.. neither of which this is suited for.
So while the author "missed the point", your evaluation of use cases for this greatly misses the point too.
Most accidents occur at low speeds. More traffic, lower speeds.
Most people don't travel alone but in groups of 3 or more.
No, safety had more to it than less deaths. If we have less deaths but many many more crippling injuries, that's not better.
Congested and slow traffic seems to confuse self driving the most tbh.
Commuters don't take cabs. We're talking about cabs.
