Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous vehicles, are rapidly approaching widespread use. While promising numerous benefits, they also raise significant concerns. This passage focuses on the potential impact of self-driving cars on traffic congestion.
Proponents argue that self-driving cars could significantly reduce traffic jams. These vehicles are programmed to drive efficiently, maintaining a constant speed and safe distance from other cars. This smooth flow of traffic, unlike the unpredictable nature of human drivers, could lead to less congestion, particularly during rush hour.

Equipped with advanced sensors and GPS technology, these vehicles can communicate with each other and infrastructure, choosing the fastest routes and avoiding congested areas. This intelligent routing system could contribute to a more even distribution of vehicles across the road network.
However, some experts express skepticism about the impact on traffic volume. They argue that the convenience and affordability of self-driving cars might encourage people to choose personal vehicles over public transport. This potential increase in the number of cars on the road could counteract the benefits of efficient driving and ultimately worsen traffic conditions.
