The Massachusetts metropolis’ age and dense population make it one of the most miserable places to drive in the country, worse than Los Angeles in many areas. Boston consistently ranks among the worst cities in the U.S. for traffic.
Boston is attempting to address the problem through a new partnership with Google’s Project Green Light, which leans on artificial intelligence to alter traffic light patterns in hopes of reducing congestion. The tech should smooth stop -and-go traffic and cut emissions.
