    Account for the space between them when traveling at speed (what is it, 3 seconds between vehicles?) and really it’s the same congestion.

      3 seconds is speed dependent and congestion is a function of the speed slowing down due to too much traffic (Or a wreck/something bottle necking the traffic).

      When everything goes down to 5/10mph, there will be some pretty major space savings and when things are moving at full speed, congestion isn’t a problem.
