You know that you're describing things that machines are inherently better at than humans? And the problems you described stem mostly from the fact that maps also serve informative function (to learn the route in advance), and apparently Google didn't decide yet to compute routes in their navapp based on other active users of said navapp in the neighbourhood. But the data, infrastructure and algorithms are there.

> And if it did, and it controlled a significant portion of the cars, it would no longer be the best route.

Of course it would, because it would be able to run a global route optimization on all the cars simultaneously, thus outperforming even the most experienced human drivers by orders of magnitude. Getting above human level seems like a college-level exercise.

Well then, I look forward to it happening any day now.
