Recent years have witnessed exciting developments in our transportation system with increasingly intelligent vehicles and infrastructure. The transportation system is envisioned to be highly heterogeneous, consisting of diverse participants with mixed intelligence and connectivity. Among them, autonomous vehicles have the highest intelligence and connectivity level and could contribute greatly to the operation of the transportation system in an efficient and reliable manner. However, the current design of autonomous driving techniques is mostly concerned with the autonomous vehicle at the individual level, and the overall transportation system does not provide proactive support to autonomous driving. In fact, the increasing intelligence and connectivity in transportation could be leveraged to significantly enhance the safety and efficiency of individual vehicles and the entire system. To facilitate this, vehicles need to interact and cooperate both among themselves and with the transportation infrastructure and management. In this article, we propose the societal intelligence (SI) framework. Different from the existing multientity intelligence frameworks, SI allows for much diverse interactions among the multiple entities at different levels and is thus suitable for transportation. In addition, we also render the driving process into four functional layers and demonstrate how the social intelligence framework can adapt to these layers, respectively.
