I think a good solution is a device that is attached to your front bumper and can accellerate and break. That we, you are "glued" to the bumper of the car in front of you, as long as you don't override it. Now what happens, is when one car accellerates from a red light, or from a rubbernecking place, all the cars accellerate at the same pace. This maximizes the amount of traffic permitted through an interestion. The cars can disperse later, when the traffic is thinner. yeah, i thought about this too.
