I didn't mean "reroute" literally, but just in general use additional information about other drivers to make your trip safer/faster/better...
wouldn't you agree that having additional information about drivers around you could potentially make your trip safer/faster/better? Seems pretty obvious that by knowing more, you can only improve your driving experience...
it doesn't even matter who compiles this information, doesn't really even matter if it's 100% accurate.... for example: you look at weather report and see there is 30% chance of rain tomorrow, so you pack an umbrella to work just in case... no rain next day, no harm done...
same with drivers, driver ahead of you gets profiled as 30% risky, your car puts extra 5 feet space between you... if the algorithm turns out to be wrong, no harm done...
but if it's not wrong, the additional information it had and the action it took (5 extra feet of space) could potentially save your life...
