Think back 2 those summer road trips when u were a kid. At gas stations, u'd have to use that blue liquid & squeegee the bug guts off the windshield. Last summer, I drove all the way across the country & didn't have 2 do that once. I literally can't stop thinking about this.

I have no doubt that there are many factors at play. But, I also can't imagine that fewer bugs is not the 1st order effect, given other studies & my own observations outside of driving. I'm always willing to be proven wrong, though. Really, I just hope more people work on this.

There was a recent study showing a 76% reduction in insect populations. I've had the same impression on German highways recently. There is hardly any soundproofing there, but an increasing use of pesticides, like the controversial glyphosate case recently.
