   The problem with intelligent highways is that drivers remain   
   unintelligent.  And we're all to blame, in some ways.  Who among us   
   hasn't had the "bright" idea to change over to a faster moving lane or   
   take some other self-centered action?  Given human nature, it's almost a   
   guarantee that telling people that there will be a traffic slowdown 5   
   miles ahead would result in a lot of them gunning it in an attempt to   
   get ahead of everyone else.
