They are accounting for the "risk of jamming", but are they also accounting for "risk of accident"?

A similar thing is 100% computer controlled driving. Today we have the tech to make cars do all the driving, which leads to smaller gaps between cars, which leads to increased car volume capacity on the freeways and such. The corollary to this is massive car pileups when something goes wrong.
