Brighter more easily spotted colors, superstitiously, are supposedly more likely to get someone stopped for common minor traffic infractions.
Have to also add; if self-driving cars saved everyone from gawker blocks and other annoyances that'd be a net gain for nearly never driving again, at least in more highly regulated areas (presumably interstates and highways first).
- gilrain 4y agoWhy do you think it’s a superstition?
- throwaway0a5e 4y agoIt's not an urban legend or superstition. It's a function of the lizard brain. It adds an extra "interesting" attribute (many things can do this, color is not the only one) that makes you more likely to get stopped. It's the same reason fishing lures are painted brighter than the natural colors of the things they are trying to emulate. It makes the brain go "hey what's that?". In both cases the object cannot trigger the "prey" workflow if the brain doesn't notice it.
