If folks could work and study from home via high speed internet and video conferencing, or even as they commute; those still obliged to commute for either could get there far sooner!
And if driverless cars that talk to the traffic lights were employed by various enterprises as car pooled transport that ferried four instead of one employee to their workplace, we could reduce commuter related gridlock by as much as 75%?
All that prevents that and far safer roads, I believe, is slow lane (learner driver) state administrators trying to protect a multi million revenue source, (tolls, registrations, traffic breach fines etc?) even as they lose multi billions through lost production?
As lamb chop chewing Sam would say, you know it makes perfect sense?
