Self-driving vehicles, according to CEO Elon Musk, would certainly worsen traffic congestion since people will no longer feel the discomfort of physically operating a car. Musk's comment comes despite the fact that his own business, Tesla, is working hard on self-driving technology.
When it comes to self-driving vehicles, Tesla has been one of the frontrunners. Autopilot, the firm's semi-autonomous driving software, is available in its electric vehicles, and the business is now working on FSD, their complete self-driving technology.

In recent tweets, Musk stated that the most challenging aspect of the future transportation situation will be dealing with traffic. He further stated that even the most powerful beings on the planet will be unable to overcome the high traffic.
What makes Elon Musk believe that self-driving cars would exacerbate traffic congestion in the future?
People will find it more simpler to travel and drive with self-driving vehicles, resulting in increased personal mobility. It will also allow persons who are now unable to operate a car on their own to have personal mobility. This would result in a substantial rise in the number of cars on the road, resulting in increased traffic congestion. Self-driving technology, on the other hand, has the potential to minimise phantom traffic bottlenecks, which are one of the worst nightmares for drivers.
