A traffic jam (or a music festival) concentrates a lot of other people in the area and the cell towers quickly become overwhelmed and boom... more stopped autonomous cars.
Hence why we need a mesh networking phone system, so that when you get more subscribers in an area you get more bandwidth, carrying that traffic node to node until it reaches another cell site. But the providers haven't figured out a way to lock us into their infrastructure while doing that yet...
