This is dumb and will not work and we have known it will not work for decades. Road safety and traffic are solved problems. Look to Tokyo, Amsterdam, Copenhagen. TLDR: provide viable alternatives to driving to move non-essential vehicles and trips off the roads, physically segregate modes, calm traffic and speeds in urban spaces etc etc. This is cheap and easy to do and doesn't require new technology lol. It's actually hilarious how much resources, time and energy otherwise smart engineers are willing to spend on solving the wrong problem. Optimizing intersections algorithms is a great example. Intersections are best optimized by not having intersections. If there has to be an intersection, make it a roundabout to randomize the flow vs the US style start-stop-start-stop grid of intersections which is GUARANTEED to gridlock BY DESIGN. Let alone that the no 1 thing is to do all the things mentioned above to take non-essential vehicles off the road in the first place.
