A single lane of highway doesn't get more than 2000 cars per hour. Even self driving won't increase that much. If all cars have to wait for someone to get out of their cars since we're only on 1 lane then it'll get even worse.
Eletrics cars are 2000kg because a the battery weighs a lot.
Trains get smaller too when it's not rush hour. France regularly runs one carriage trains the size of a bus.
Mitigate and smooth flowing aren't the same thing. On way to work I see cars backed up for miles. Doesn't matter if they're self driving or not when cars move bumper to bumper already.
