“ENLIL is a roadside turbine designed to capture wind power from highway traffic.”
There’s also an article on the technology from 2019.
I’m thinking even if we drastically reduce the number of cars, get rid of the wide-lane highways, and use just buses, trains, and planes to generate the wind, it would still be useful.

There is no free lunch. Harvesting the wind forming around the moving vehicle must increase drag. Therefore they use more fuel. The only advantage is: the fuel is bought by someone else.
Burning the fuel directly in a generator should be more efficient
