@ne0liberal is wrong about public transit here.
The optimal transportation grid for the 21st century is a fleet of electric, self-driving cars, busses and minivans that are dispatched dynamically to respond to demand and that pay a real-time road tax.https://twitter.com/ne0liberal/status/1375621061136551936 …

Property exists for a reason - too hard to enforce cooperation in an impersonal way in all the needed ways to have shared / common property even if it's on a pay-by-use means. Whole classes of problems are cheaper to avoid than remedy - people will avoid them for their property.

You would just have to let the computer take over driving in busy areas and pay real-time road fees But the payoff is that you never have a traffic jam.

Traffic jams are a system that responds to pricing - a political system that chooses to build too few roads (but enough for sub-peak load) I'd believe that they're an unsolvable issue when some municipality somewhere tries massive road construction Probably China will test this

If that hypothesis is accurate your solution will simply result in even fewer roads to the point where even perfect allocation still results in traffic jams.
