Feels like this would only be a bandage solution to traffic. Roads and freeways can only support so many people before they get congested. Lots of LA is congested during peak traffic times and AI could at best help evenly spread out the congestion. Developing our cities to encourage public transit, walking and biking use is hopefully getting more priority as that will reduce pedestrian deaths. In terms of traffic, it would probably increase the number of people that get to their location, and reduce transit time, but I don’t think there’s realistically a way to make our roads free flowing.the reason being, people will always resort to cars if transit time decreases.
