Long before all vehicles become self-driving, AI could drastically improve traffic conditions. Traffic jams could become a thing of the past when even as few as 5% of cars are driven by robots.
Robot vehicles are no longer a sci-fi concept: Cities around the world have been testing autonomous robotaxissince 2016.
