Microsoft and Ford solving traffic



Souce


Microsoft and Ford collaborated creating a technology inspired by quantum computing, with which they designed an algorithm capable of greatly improving the traffic of a simulated city.

Ford didn't really use a quantum computer, just a normal computer that ran a quantum computer algorithm, reused for use in classic hardware, what they did was create a simulation with 5,000 cars running, each car calculated its best route by itself, taking into account the position and knowing the established routes of all other cars.

The result was incredible reduced traffic by 73% and global travel time by 8%, an incredible demonstration of the power of this technology, imagine what you will be able to do when you have a truly quantum interface, its application, however It will be complicated as much as morally, as all drivers would have to reveal their position and destination live, but the advantages are very succulent.
