1. A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising: a control server, including a processor and associated with a traffic control system, wherein the control server is external to vehicles being controlled in the traffic control system, receiving a first registration of a first vehicle, the registration including first current travel information for the first vehicle stored in a first data structure;the control server receiving a second registration of a second vehicle, the registration including second current travel information for the second vehicle stored in a second data structure;the control server registering the first vehicle and the second vehicle in the traffic control system in response to receiving the first registration of the first vehicle and the second registration of the second vehicle;the control server, in response to receiving the first registration of the first vehicle, determining traffic information for two or more other vehicles registered with the traffic control system and being controlled by the control server, wherein the traffic information includes a current location for each of the two or more other vehicles within the traffic control system;the control server determining a first control arrangement for the first vehicle based on the first current travel information for the first vehicle and the traffic information for the two or more other vehicles;the control server sending a first control message to control the first vehicle in the traffic control system in accordance with the determined first control arrangement;the control server, in response to receiving the second registration of the second vehicle, determining traffic information for two or more other vehicles and the first vehicle registered with the traffic control system and being controlled by the control server, wherein the traffic information includes a next current location for each of the two or more other vehicles and the first vehicle within the traffic control system;the control server determining a second control arrangement for the second vehicle based on the second current travel information for the second vehicle and the traffic information for the two or more other vehicles and the first vehicle; andthe control server sending a second control message to control the second vehicle in the traffic control system in accordance with the determined second control arrangement. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first vehicle automatically, without driver input, follows instructions in the first control message. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first current travel information includes a current location and a destination. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first control message includes a speed and a position within traffic to which the vehicle must adhere. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first vehicle generates a first route based on the first control arrangement. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the first vehicle follows the first route automatically without driver input. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the control server sends a second control message to change a behavior of the first vehicle. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the second control message instructs the first vehicle to exit from a roadway. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first control message includes a lane designation. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the second travel information includes an estimated time of arrival at a particular location for the second vehicle, and in response to determining the traffic information for the estimated time of arrival, the method further comprises: the control server sending a second control message to the first vehicle, the second control message configured to control the first vehicle and create a physical space between the first vehicle and the other vehicles to accommodate the second vehicle at the particular location and at the estimated time of arrival. 11. A control server associated with a traffic control system comprising: a processor that executes one or more modules, the modules comprising: a registration module operable to: receive two or more registrations of two or more vehicles, the two or more registrations including current travel information for each of the two or more vehicles, each stored in a data structure; andregister, in response to receiving the two or more registrations of the two or more vehicles, the two or more vehicles in the traffic control system;a traffic control module operable to: determine, in response to receiving each of the two or more registrations of the two or more vehicles, traffic information for other vehicles within the traffic control system, wherein the traffic information includes a current location for each of the other vehicles within the traffic control system;determine a control arrangement for each of the two or more vehicles based on the current travel information for each of the two or more vehicles and the traffic information for the other vehicles; andsend a control message to control each of the two or more vehicles in the traffic control system in accordance with the determined control arrangements. 12. The control server of claim 11, wherein each of the two or more vehicles generates a route based on the control arrangement, and wherein the two or more vehicles follows the route automatically without driver input. 13. The control server of claim 12, wherein the control server sends a second control message to change a behavior of one of the two or more vehicles, and wherein the second control message instructs the vehicle to exit from a roadway. 14. The control server of claim 13, wherein the control message includes one or more of a lane, a speed, and a position within traffic to which each of the two or more vehicles must adhere. 15. The control server of claim 14, wherein the current travel information includes a current location and a destination. 16. A non-transitory computer readable medium stored on a storage medium and having instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method, the instructions comprising: instructions to receive a first registration of a first vehicle, the first registration including first current travel information for the first vehicle stored in a first data structure;instructions to register the first vehicle in a traffic control system;instructions to determine, in response to receiving the first registration of the first vehicle, first traffic information for other vehicles within the traffic control system, wherein the first traffic information includes a first current location for each of the other vehicles within the traffic control system at a first time;instructions to determine a first control arrangement for the first vehicle based on the first current travel information for the first vehicle and the first traffic information for the other vehicles;instructions to send a first control message to control the first vehicle in the traffic control system in accordance with the first control arrangement determined;instructions to receive a second registration of a second vehicle, the second registration including second current travel information for the second vehicle stored in a second data structure;instructions to register the second vehicle in a traffic control system;instructions to determine, in response to receiving the second registration of the second vehicle, second traffic information for other vehicles within the traffic control system, wherein the second traffic information includes a second current location for each of the other vehicles within the traffic control system at a second time;instructions to determine a second control arrangement for the second vehicle based on the second current travel information for the second vehicle and the second traffic information for the other vehicles; andinstructions to send a second control message to control the second vehicle in the traffic control system in accordance with the second control arrangement determined. 17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the first vehicle generates a first route based on the first control arrangement, and wherein the first vehicle follows the first route automatically without driver input. 18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the control server sends a second control message to change a behavior of the first vehicle, and wherein the second control message instructs the first vehicle to exit from a roadway. 19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the first control message includes one or more of a lane, a speed, and a position within traffic to which the first vehicle must adhere. 20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the first current travel information includes a current location and a destination.
