This seems 2060 type stuff. We cant even get potholes fixed in my city.

Why not have smart traffic lights as a starting point? Realtime traffic patterns using google maps and cameras with sensors. Data is stored for historical patterns and for new models to be tested against.

We already have this. Traffic lights in a given municipal area are often networked and have sensors to get traffic data.

For example, McCain (a popular manufacturer of traffic controllers), has their own TMS (Traffic Management System):

What I don't think there is yet is any sort of neural network training environment for a TMS, but I might be wrong.

This could fix potholes too. Having the cars avoid that section of road automatically.
