Many traffic jams are caused by human behavior: a slight tap on the brakes can ripple through a line of cars, triggering a slowdown \u2014 or complete gridlock \u2014 for no apparent reason. But in a massive traffic experiment that occurred outside of Nashville last week, scientists tested whether introducing just a few AI-equipped vehicles to the road can help ease these \u201cphantom\u201d jams and reduce fuel consumption for everyone. The answer seems to be yes.
