1. A vehicle for implementing a vehicle configuration template within a first road region, the vehicle comprising a computing device configured to communicate with a plurality of vehicles and a system over a network, the computing device comprising a processor, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executable by the processor, perform steps of:
receiving, at the vehicle in the plurality of vehicles, the vehicle configuration template, wherein the vehicle configuration template comprises a set of instructions to control at least one of a desired vehicle dynamic parameter and a position parameter of the vehicle within the first road region; and
implementing the set of instructions within the first road region as a vehicle transition sequence, wherein the vehicle transition sequence autonomously or semi-autonomously adjusts at least one of a vehicle position and dynamics to achieve a desired traffic flow.
