IBM is working on and testing software to predict traffic patterns and help people avoid traffic jams. They apparently already tried something like that out in London and it caused crashes and was generally a failure. They apparently moved on (read ignored) since then and want to have some finished soon that runs on smart phones using the location tracking data alongside road sensors to receive data for where people are driving and when and use this data to predict where traffic jams are liikely to occur. Nothing amazing but then again evryday can't be nanomachines removing cancer cells, or microchips storeing lightwaves.
