CARLO RATTI Goodbye congestion and hello seamless transportation One of the main benefits that self-driving cars bring to the world is the potential for connected traffic management systems , acting on overwatch across cities . With the ability to communicate with traffic infrastructure , as well as each other , in real-time , autonomous vehicles ( AVs ) can optimise traffic flow and reduce congestion . AI-powered algorithms analyse a vast amount of data , including patterns of traffic , weather conditions and reports , and provide real-time visibility to inform traffic decision-making much faster .
“ Connectivity and data are vital elements to influence the evolution of e-mobility . First of all , it helps us understand urban mobility infrastructure better ,” says Carlo Ratti , Professor of Practice of Urban Technologies and Planning at MIT .
