Elistan, they already have real time traffic report.
Just go to your local TV station's website and click the link to that info and see the pic. There are cameras all over the places now, and my buddy does this on his palm for DC metro traffic.

Truthfully, Hydrogen vehicles like the 7 series might just be the future, with a renewable resource that is 100% clean, switching over to it, will be a great step for humanity, and gas prices, lol, or should i say water prices...

There are a few problems that H2 (hydrogen) people don't talk about.
100% clean ? yes and no. The best way to get large amounts of H2 is to use large amounts of electricity. Electricity made with coal and oil that is not clean. So you have H2 that is made at a cost of coal and oil.
True H2 can be made with solar but that is not in place and will cost a boat load of money to make a boat load of H2.
The cost of the fuel cells is like 10X the cost of a petrolium engins so figure the price of the car is 10-20% more than a regular car. And for this you get 100 mile re-fuel intervals.
The H2 infrastructure is not in place. This will cost a lot of money that will be passed on to the consumer or the tax payers. More than we are spending on "cheap" oil at the moment.
