An end to gridlock? How AI could get London moving again

London is a truly remarkable city – an economic powerhouse and a cultural destination without equal. But it's a terrible irony that this fast-moving, fast-living, fast-earning metropolis is stuck in traffic so much of the time. According to traffic data company INRIX, London is – unsurprisingly – the UK's most congested city. Each motorist is spending approximately 74 hours a year in gridlock during peak times. And the effect on the environment is devastating – the mayor of London's office concluded in 2017 that road transport in London was responsible for half of the main air pollutants in the capital.
