This should be interesting. I'd like to see the "driver profiles" created for each city, assuming that's possible to create from observing traffic in different cities.
- ghaff 9y agoIt's an interesting point. The level of aggression needed to get cross-town in Manhattan at rush hour is clearly very different from how you drive in a smaller city with modest traffic. I'm still of the opinion that this is pretty far out except maybe on highways but good to see experimentation under a variety of conditions.
