摘要

Congestion in many areas of the United States cripples efficient travel. Annually, drivers in the United States waste more than 6.9 billion hours and 31 billion gallons (11.7 billion liters) of fuel due to traffic. Moreover, 6.3 million crashes occur on U.S. roads each year, resulting in more than 35,000 deaths. This heavy fatality toll affects the entire country-whether rural or urban, northern or southern. Innovative, universal, and tangible solutions to one of transportation's toughest challenges are critical.
