I get all that. Congestion still goes down. Whenever two google-cars pair up and become (effectively) one longer car, it's a little less congestion. You might argue that it's not enough, but it's surely something. Those google-cars that see you coming on to the 405 - are you assuming they will give you more room than humans would? Because they are responsible drivers? I suppose that might negate some of the congestion gains, but I'm hard-pressed to see any other way congestion could be anything but improved with google-cars.
