  Microsoft Introduces Tool for Avoiding Traffic Jams
Time: 02:35 EST/07:35 GMT | News Source: WinBeta | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft announced on Thursday it will launch ClearFlow, a software technology for its driving directions website that will help users avoid traffic jams. ClearFlow spent five years in development by the software giant's AI researchers, and will be available at no cost for 72 US metropolitan cities. It will take into account details such as sporting events, current weather and time of day to get drivers to their destinations in the shortest amount of time.

The new software may, for example, instruct drivers to remain on a busy highway rather than take side streets during rush hour, as the busy road and waiting at street lights would take longer. What the ClearFlow program doesn't take into account, however, are real-time updates such as road / highway closures or accidents.

If all drivers used this software and followed its directions than Microsoft would have full control of all vehicle traffic patterns in 72 cities. What could possibly go wrong?
