Angelenos lose 87 hours a year to congestion. LAMO uses Claude AI and Mapbox to distribute drivers across the best routes — so the fastest route stops becoming the most congested one.
The Waze Problem: when everyone gets the "best" route, there is no best route. The "fastest" route becomes the most congested one — and Angelenos lose 87 hours a year to this failure.
LAMO combines Mapbox's real-time routing with Claude AI's reasoning to balance traffic across the whole city — not just optimize one person at a time.
Provides real-time routes and live traffic data across Los Angeles. The live eyes of the system — always watching the roads.
Makes policy decisions: which routes to recommend, when to protect neighborhoods, how to fairly distribute users. The brain of LAMO.
Ticketmaster and event feeds feed into Claude AI so LAMO predicts demand spikes before a Lakers game or concert turns streets into parking lots.
