Controlling what floor an elevator stops at.
I can’t stand it when an elevator that is full of people stops at my floor and we are all going the same direction.
AI could detect that the elevator was already full and it would not stop on any other floors to pick anyone else up.
It would just go to the destination floor and significantly increase the flow of traffic on an elevator.

A hospital near me has a smart elevator system. Everybody who wants to use it has to press the button for the floor they want to go to (this is in the hallway before getting on the elevator). So, if you are in a group of three people, all three of you press the same button.
The system then tells you which elevator to get in, and tracks how many people are on board based on how many times the button is pressed and which floors it stops at.

this is a great idea actually, gives me flashbacks to elevator rage when it was a part of my office life. hidden bonus was i'd usually just walk the 7 flights of stairs and get the bonus cardio
