In order for everyone to just freaking go, their cars would have to be attached somehow.

I wonder if anyone's ever thought of linking a bunch of cars together so they can all stop and go simultaneously. And hey, since the cars are attached and all need to go to the same place, we can build a track instead of using high maintenance rubber on pavement and-

oop, we invented trains

I love re-deriving the train when people talk about autonomous cars/trucking and how they can already do the highway part easily

What I dont fucking get is that even in Europe where even in shitty countries like Hungary and Slovakia we have train tracks that's about thousandfold what the US has, and we still put shit on Semis and have them drive between cities, cities that are all fucking connected by train.

Why aren't we fucking putting everything on goddamn fucking trains, and then do only the last miles of the delivery on trucks, they could even be electric as that would eliminate all the drawbacks of electric semis, having them only go short distances

There is nothing more American than being in traffic. You're never more in touch with a systemic failure, yet we blame it on the choices of individual drivers, all the while unaware that we're part of the problem.

my man have you ever been in, like, another country?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, but they definitely don't have traffic in Germany. They have the Autobahn, the perfect solution to any and every traffic problem that could ever exist.

You wouldnt say that after trying to get through Berlin or one of the other major cities

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Hogwash! It's impossible for Berlin to have any traffic, all the cars are on the Autobahn, and they always go fast. Always. Nobody ever goes slow on the Autobahn. It's actually illegal to go slow in Germany. You can cruise through Berlin at 200 MPH (but never slower than 100 MPH, that's illegal) anytime of day thanks to the Autobahn dramatic reverb

Traffic dynamics are really interesting. Even after you clear the obstruction, the traffic jam remains and becomes a "ghost jam" that propagates backwards down the road until it eventually fizzles out.

Indeed - play with them here!
