How AI Is Saving Lives at Every Intersection
The Surprising Ways AI is Actually Helping.
You know that stretch where you hit every green light perfectly? Well, that might not be luck anymore.
There's an AI system that watches every car, bike, and pedestrian approaching an intersection in real time… and lines up the lights so you cruise right through.
And the numbers on how much faster people are getting home? They're kind of ridiculous.
Speeding up your commute is just the beginning.
There's a city in Tennessee where AI flagged so many near-crashes on one block that planners made a single change… and the result still blows my mind.
When I saw how much safer AI made bike lanes in Vancouver, Canada, I thought maybe I was the one hallucinating.
The catch?
For any of this to work, the city has to see you.
Cameras, radar, the phone in your pocket, the car in your driveway.
It kinda creeps me out.
So what do we actually get back?
And is there a way to get all of this without cameras watching our every move?
