Massive Field Test Showing How AI Smooths Traffic Flow
Researchers deployed a fleet of 100 semi-autonomous vehicles to test whether a new AI-powered cruise control system can help smooth the flow of traffic and improve fuel economy. \n\nIn a massive traffic experiment, scientists tested whether introducing just a few AI-equipped vehicles to the road can help ease \u201cphantom\u201d jams caused by human behavior and reduce fuel consumption for everyone.\n\n(Video: Roxanne Makasdjian, Alan Toth, and CIRCLES Consortium\nMusic: Dyalla - Organic Guitar House)\n Series: "UC Berkeley News" [Public Affairs] [Science] [Show ID: 39225]
