Can interactive technology ease urban traffic jams?:
Traffic congestion is a serious problem in the United States, but a new analysis shows that interactive technology -- ranging from 511 traffic information systems and roadside cameras to traffic apps like Waze and Google Maps -- is helping in cities that use it.
Potentially, the researchers said, technology could limit the need to widen and expand roadways while saving commuters time and money and lessening environmental damage.
[...] Pavlou [author of the report] said the study suggests alternatives to simply building more and bigger roads to keep up with population and traffic growth. Using large-scale technology systems in conjunction with real-time traffic apps at the individual level is less expensive and more effective than only spending funds to expand and maintain roadways, he said .

The real question is, when cars honk does Pavlou's mouth water?

Smartphone videos exposed the police brutality, among other things.
Funny thing. The pandemic seem to have stopped the cops killing blacks and the school shooting, for a bit. Didn't last too long.
Don't forget the white woman trying to screw the black dude in the Central Park. Not to mention Asian bashing, including those doctors and nurses at the frontline of covid battle.
This is how empire self-destruct.

Niggers kill 10, wound 39 on memorial day in Chicago, yet all the news (and you apparently) care about is some lady who called the police and said "african-american".
