So before transportation there were no roads, then Humans begun using animals and the roads were formed to accommodate animal based transport.
Then Animal powered mechanical transport(carriages) was invented and people made roads to accommodate the new means of transport.
Then the fully mechanical transport came and we just made roads for these machines.
For some reason, this time Humans are trying to keep the roads the same. Well, actually not,
there are project to create roads designed for self driving vehicles.
I think those in the software industry have a hammer and now see everything as a nail. What a successful AI transportation system would be? Probably based on specifically designed infrastructure that is using the AI tech that never worked for the old school roads.
