I feel like intelligent control of traffic lights could make a huge difference in how much traffic can flow. An AI with an overview of all traffic could adjust light timing on the fly to prioritize flow where it’s most needed and synchronize the lights on main routes so that you get all green lights if you stick to the speed limit. They already do that to some degree, but it’s nothing compared to what’s possible.
