The increasing financial, social and environmental costs of constructing larger and more roadways has made it a less viable option to address the worsening traffic congestion in the US. There are those who propose the more efficient use of existing road networks through advanced technology such as automated highways that feature a lane or set of lanes on which vehicles equipped with specialized sensors and wireless communications systems could travel under computer control at closely spaced intervals. Recently, the National Automated Highway System Consortium (NAHSC) successfully demonstrated traffic automation on a stretch of California freeway near San Diego. This and other related developments are discussed.
