Self-Driving Cars Will Likely Drive Up Traffic Levels, Study Finds
The benefits of self-driving cars include safer roads, less energy consumption, and a decrease in pollution levels. However, the convenience of autonomous vehicles may actually increase the time people spend in their vehicles, which will affect traffic levels.

Here's The Bizarre Reason Self-Driving Cars Might Not Cut Down Traffic After All
We know that self-driving cars are promising to make the roads safer and give us more time to relax, but the energy-saving and pollution-cutting benefits are also important. Now a new study suggests those benefits might not be as big as we thought.

More Self-Driving Cars = More Miles Driven & More Energy Consumed
A study by researchers at the University of Michigan School For Environment And Sustainability led by doctoral fellow Morteza Taiebat claims people with self-driving cars will drive more miles, which in turn means the transportation sector will use more energy rather than less.

Self-driving cars may need more fuel than previously thought
Self-driving cars could prove so cheap to fuel and convenient to use that their owners end up riding in them more, causing them to use more energy — and raising questions about their carbon footprint, according to a new study from University of Michigan researchers.

Self-driving cars could lead to more driving miles, fewer environmental benefits
The benefits of self-driving cars will likely induce vehicle owners to drive more, and those extra miles could partially or completely offset the potential energy-saving benefits that automation may provide, according to a new University of Michigan study.
