      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Misha. Angel Investor, Photographer, Shitposter

      good thread a tangent: it is very hard to keep "ownership" of a 5 carlength gap ahead of one in traffic. "you're not using that!" is the ethic. And thus a safety margin is eroded so that some idiot can get 25 feet closer to his destination.https://twitter.com/drethelin/status/1120743461282512897 …

      Reminds me of the man who worked out the best way to fix stop and go traffic was to slow down before you get there and let a space open up so the artery can clear. He had graphs and everything.

      when I had to commute on Rt 128 I played this game where I'd do my damndest to smooth the stop and go : I'd never break, and accelerate very very slowly result: everyone behind me had MUCH smoother traffic mentioned this on a very high IQ mailing list ppl were upset at me

          This is about the only use I can think of for automated driving: smoothing traffic jams.

          "the only use" you can't imagine "reading a book while the car drives itself" ?

          Haha it works though. Best is when you're slowly coasting up to a red light, it turns green, and you + the whole echelon of cars behind you immediately accelerate & are all through ASAP while the lane beside you putters through piecemeal one after another

          To really piss them off, point out that it's coming whether they want it or not, with the advent of autonomous vehicles. The first consumers will undoubtedly be operators of fleets, and the fact that they always obey laws and act predictably will cause them to act as pace cars.

          Small numbers of autonomous vehicles will probably end up doing more for smog than anything the socialists have ever tried to do with laws just by eliminating the major causes of congestion.
