Sounds like the most likely scenario for what fully automated traffic might look like. Drive your car to the freeway where it becomes your own personal train car. obviously these freeways would have to be robot-car only- no '67 chevys allowed. Honestly, Its the way I would like to see car travel go in the future. its not perfect but we allready have the highway system connecting all our cities instead of trains, so we kinda have to use them.
