September 2017, the startup WayCare will begin a 6 month pilot of artificial intelligence (AI) in Las Vegas.  The AI will monitor traffic of I-15 and US 95 then predict congestion and possible traffic accidents.  The intent is to predict within 2 hours where first responders within a coalition of city, state, and county agencies should place their vehicles.  The hope is that by preparing resources ahead of time that they may be able to prevent accidents.

Some of the analytics may assess predictions based on the angle of the sun, debris on a lane, or perhaps even a dust cloud.  The WayCare project is estimated to cost tens of thousands of dollars.  The next cities which may potentially explore a pilot with WayCare are Ft Lauderdale and Tampa, Florida.
