    This project was 4 years in the making and it's finally out! We found that controlling vehicle speeds to mitigate traffic across a city can cut carbon emissions by 11-22%. To do this, we used deep reinforcement learning to optimize one million eco-driving scenarios. 🚗🤖🧠

    If pure AI or pure search isn't working for you, consider learning-guided optimization! This approach combines the best of both worlds; our most recent work demonstrates this for coordinating agents in warehouse robotics.

    Have you noticed how navigation apps include walking & waiting for public transit, but excludes parking & walking for driving? After being late a few times 😅, we finally did. We got curious: what if these apps account for parking?
