- eamag 2y agoMaybe here? https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-ai-reduce-greenhouse-emissions-project-greenlight/ https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/goog... > We build an AI-based model of each intersection, including its structure, traffic patterns (such as patterns of starting and stopping), light scheduling, and how traffic and the light schedules interact, and then we also build a model of the interaction between traffic lights. Based on this model, we develop AI-based optimizations and then provide recommendations to city engineers via the Green Light interface. As an example, we might identify an opportunity to coordinate between intersections that are not yet synced and provide a recommendation around the timing of the traffic lights so that traffic flows more effectively along a stretch of road.
- simonw 2y agoWhat's an AI-based model? What's the difference between an "AI-based" optimization and a regular optimization? It's not that it's inaccurate to call it "AI", it just doesn't actually tell us anything useful about what they did.
- whimsicalism 2y agoML is the same thing as AI - optimization applied to stacked weights to achieve an objective. I don’t see what the problem is with that
- lm28469 2y agoIt's running on the cloud so it's either an "app" or "AI", get used to it grandpa /s
