If you have a coordinated system of transport (kinda like public transport) then there are efficiency gains to be had eliminating the reactive component of driving, i.e. the central controller will space everything out just right and stoplights won't be necessary, the cross traffic will weave, usually without incident. But we are not talking about driving anymore...
