Cutting stop-go traffic – AI or E Streets?

Just saw this.

How Google develops AI

To make sure we build tools that make the world better for everyone, we developed a set of AI principles in 2018. These principles describe our goals to develop bold technology that can tackle some of society’s biggest challenges in a responsible way.

For example, we use AI to:

  • Support efforts to curb climate change, like reducing stop-and-go traffic to lower vehicle emissions.

Equality instead of priority, without traffic control (except for multi-lane intersections at busy times) produces natural flow instead of stop-start. It’s something I’ve been banging on about for years. But my little voice via this little website/blog goes unremarked. Maybe Google’s AI will do the job, though my way is easier, and it’s available right now.
