Automated cars could also save gas on the highway. We all know that driving right on the bumper of an 18-wheeler will increase your gas mileage. The main danger is unexpected braking. If we had automated vehicles, they could all ride up against each other and make great use of slip-streams.
There would be savings at stoplights as well. When the light turned green, all cars would start moving, instead of this inch-worm movement. More cars get through the light, less idle time, more gas/electricity saved.
