The chicken and egg problem! A few decades ago there was work done on improving traffic flow by building highways embedded with wireless transmitters linked to cars. I recall convoys of cars bumper-to-bumper in San Diego testing out the concept on small sections of the interstate - powered by QCOM! (From Google AI: there have been extensive attempts to embed wireless technology in highways and link it to cars to improve traffic flow, with Qualcomm (QCOM) being a major developer of the core technology. The key technology is called Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), which enables communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. How the technology works. C-V2X functions through two main communication modes to improve traffic flow: Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I): Communication between vehicles and roadside units (RSUs) embedded in traffic signals, streetlights, and highway signs. This allows for applications that enhance efficiency, such as: Traffic signal management: RSUs can broadcast signal timing information to approaching vehicles. Cars can then adjust their speed to minimize braking and idling, which smooths traffic flow and reduces emissions.)
