Michigan is building the nation’s first smart highway


A stretch of highway between Ann Arbor and Detroit, Michigan is being converted into America's first smart highway.

The new smart road is big, long car tracking system for Michigan’s Department of Transportation (MDOT) and for drivers on the highway. There are future plans to extend the smart highway to 40 miles into six more phases that would connect to both cities once the pilot program is complete. There are also cameras along the highway that monitor every stretch of roadway and take images that are analyzed by AI and machine learning algorithms to identify hazardous driving conditions.
