RE: Technological Convergence: Disruption Crosses Many Industries
More lanes get added at least in part because humans are very inefficient drivers. Autonomous vehicles that are communicating with each other might use available road space far more efficiently.

True. Autonomous cars can communicate with each other and use platooning to be more economical. And cars will be used more efficiently because they are not parked for 95% of the time. This will free up parking spaces in downtown. But traffic will increase because it is so convenient to use. Planes, trains, bikes and trams will be substituted by cars and there will probably a lot of businesses who will have mobile facilities (e.g. Amazon) constantly roaming the streets.
