With the popularity of robotic cars in transportation and the foreseeable long transition from hybrid transportation to fully autonomous transportation, researchers wondered whether robotic cars and their interaction with human-driven vehicles could alleviate current serious transportation problems.
, Researchers at the University of Tennessee envision that as the number of robotic cars in traffic increases, it may be possible to use artificial intelligence to develop algorithms to control complex hybrid transportation systems.
These algorithms not only allow all vehicles to travel smoothly from point A to point B, but more importantly, they can optimize overall traffic by influencing human-driven vehicles.
