In theory, a computer would know its road load and BSFC at all times, and know exactly where the "sweet spot" is located, and time lights perfectly 100% of the time, etc. In theory, a computer would run circles around the best human hypermilers. Instead of emulating us, it would run a huge optimization calculation seeking out the lowest fuel consumption solution that meets the driver's requirements (getting to work in x minutes, e.g.).
In practice, an AI can't get a driver's license yet, so it's moot.
