Danish architect Bjarke Ingels Group bureau has submitted a project called Urban Future. The essence of this project is to create an interactive "smart" roads in modern cities. The main objective of innovation - to improve security, and provide a "soft integration" of unmanned vehicles in the infrastructure of large cities. The road will run in automatic mode under AI control and able to manage traffic and pedestrian flows, taking decisions on the basis of data collected by cameras and sensors.
