Jams happen most often because people operate cars with incomplete information about the cars around them and inability to operate their cars optimally. As self driving cars advance and become networked the idea is that they could perform a lift like this while communicating with one another.

That said, this is a possibility but not a proper solution.

Public transit is perhaps also a possibility but not a solution.

The real solution though seems much less palatable. Only a few disasters require the mass evacuation of people and perhaps its simply better to keep our cities and populations from the edges of fire prone lands and draw back our cities and people from the immediate coastal paths of hurricanes.
