California will go full autobot

Cheap gas and a surging economy are taxing the nation’s roads and contributing to congestion that cost U.S. motorists almost $300 billion last year in wasted time and fuel, according to a new report.

Los Angeles had the worst traffic in the world among the 1,064 cities studied by transportation analytics firm INRIX. The average driver wasted 104 hours sitting in gridlock during the busiest commuting times last year, and lost $2,408 each in squandered fuel and productivity.

This was the recent realization, roads are back to jammed, then California system has experience with driver pool lanes, and they will create autobot lanes. Only the bot van drive the autobot lane, and the bot must communicate with the other autobots.  California is now scrambling to get this done, as the technology overlaps with bus rapid transit.
