Indirectly "they" already do this to a degree, as a steady stream of traffic flow data is fed into Google etc. giving you live updates continuously. As more car cams and sensors etc. come online, we or our cars probably will start to get pretty up to date warnings on potholes, debris, icy spots, etc. and maybe even advance warning on moving hazards detected by other nearby cars.
