VW gives an example of how that might work. It could use the output from the quantum algorithm to determine how many people will be in various places around a city, and it could direct a taxi or public transportation service to deploy x amount of vehicles based on that demand. The automaker said it could offer this service commercially, and that it could also work with self-driving cars in the future, either routing them to areas of perceived demand or helping the cars navigate around traffic.

VW wants to put its algorithm to use in Barcelona, a place where the automaker says it has sufficient data to operate. It's working with the telecom company Orange and the data science specialists Teralytics to make this a reality.
