In the application — what an ideal report of some Leningrad Region (similar in population to our Fairfax County) should look like

It turns out, in our small county there are already 70 miles of smart roads. Equipped vehicles exchange data with the roads, plus this is used to build autonomous cars (currently prototypes).

Additionally, there are systems here that reduce the likelihood of collisions with animals. A system under the road detects a bear or deer crossing and stops traffic with traffic lights. The PDF below beautifully describes everything, with technical details.
