Maybe they could just try a roundabout? Or even better... Ditching the dead end of car dependency for free public transport?

Because phony "AI" is here to save capital, not the planet.

The article mentions specific deterministic algorithms so I don’t think it’s AI in the way youre thinking.

Honestly I've seen round abouts in the US and while I totally think their more efficient and causes less wrecks statistically. People are fucking idiots. Everyone complains and thinks their worse and hate them to hell and back. No amount of facts or convincing will change their minds. It's insanity. People are so resistant to change it'd incredible the mountain out if a mole hill they will make it out to be.

It doesn't help that we use them poorly. We have one between a stoplight and a shopping area, and it always gets backed up. They're never in high traffic areas, so drivers never get used to them. I want to replace highway intersections with traffic circles instead of putting them in random neighborhoods.
