Traffic simulations are generally quite complex. In your proposal, if your approach is not detected correctly, you either stop traffic for a car which isn’t there, or you never stop traffic for a car which is there.
- ken 7y agoI would love to learn more about traffic simulations they use. I saw some software traffic simulators in college and they looked nice but in no way included real-world driving. It’s hard to imagine, given how bad traffic is, that our streets were planned by sophisticated computer simulations. There’s one place near me where it can take nearly an hour to go 3 blocks during rush hour, due to people blocking the box. Do simulations take that into account?
- magduf 7y agoAs I've said before, I think traffic engineering is probably the most intellectually dishonest profession there is, at least in America.
- abduhl 7y agoOh man wait until you learn about machine learning where they don’t even have a real world result to compare it to
- throwaway66920 7y agoYou mean... unsupervised machine learning? That doesn’t feel intellectually dishonest to me
