Well, a) shifting traffic patterns from 2D to 3D has potential to reduce congestion, and b) straight lines ares shorter.

Also, if we do get flying cars, it'll probably be in part because of a drastic reduction in energy use of flying over driving (e.g. reducing the energy gap between flying and driving).

I think however, in most regards, making almost all cars self-driving will bring most of the benefits

So would bundling large numbers of people into a single vehicle for the bulk of the journey and finding other ways to tackle the last-mile problem. Just imagine: transportation for the masses!
