An interesting feature has been added to Google Maps that allows for predicting traffic flow at a future date and time. While this is marginally useful for high density areas like Los Angeles and Washington DC, where traffic always seems bad, I could see benefits if Google provided point to point routing based on expected traffic flow during your estimated departure day and time.
