@emollick This is fascinating. A small change in just 2% of routes improved traffic for everyone. It shows how tiny, smart adjustments at scale can create massive system-wide benefits. Sometimes the biggest improvements don’t come from big changes, but from intelligent redistribution.
@emollick That's the kind of invisible systems optimization that makes me optimistic about practical AI.
@emollick I stopped using it when I realized it would change the preselected route mid-trip.
@emollick Low key this kind of thing is why I never use Google Maps

@emollick Thats good thinking by Google. We need this.
@emollick Amazing
When Google altered the routing system for 2% of cars using Google Maps to prefer routes that are just as fast but avoided areas that are congested it increased speeds and decreased fuel consumption for all cars across the city. https://twitter.com/abhishekn/status/2075969116033437883
