Similar to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence The gist of it is that once you reach critical density people can not drive homogenously anymore and (de-) accelerate constantly to not bump into the next car. The problem could be alleviated with self driving cars which negotiate a uniform speed.
The problem is solved by connecting all the cars, and putting them on rails that are electrified. This way you move fuel off site, and the cars are synced by the connection.
Other than the obvious public transit solution comment, you are aware that ACC exists right?
We literally have the technology on almost all new cars to keep a uniform distance from the car in front of it. Even without that if people realized you can save fuck all time by speeding on your 30 mile commute we could have cars moving at the speed limit and just have smooth traffic flow without any need for self-driving
Your solution is a dream. Real solutions already exist, it's called mass transit.
Until then, human drivers could approximate this system by all agreeing on a uniform speed. Maybe through some sort of app?
Or, this sounds crazy, perhaps the authorities could post signs by the side of the highway with the uniform speed printed on it?
