> "What about non-vehicle traffic, like bikes and pedestrians?"

It seems like the world is missing an obvious application for "AI". Every traffic light should notice a walker or biker, and signal them through their intersection without any manual steps. It would require that cars have lower priority than people, but this is already the case in many places, even if not implemented in a practical way.
