I've worked on gps systems in the past and the solution is so simple :(
All they need to do is update the average speed of each road segment based on how long it takes cars to traverse them, and use that info to calculate the quickest route, congestion solved. A huge undertaking for a gps company, but so simple and elegant in a software simulation. (Sat nav companies do that by a mixture of feedback from gps systems and anonymously tracking cell phone movements along major roads)
It's not only path finding that's broken, another video shows that left turns in general are broken, due to missing left turn signal / advanced green.

Maybe they can sell traffic cop dlc in the near future ;)
