No tradeoff there for two reasons.
1. cars use more fuel when they go faster, whereas idling cars can be optimized by turning the engine off.
2. making driving worse and more expensive is an important part of shifting travel to other modes like ebikes/mass transit. Although people don't like when you put it that way.
- Natsu 3y agoIt's hard to turn off your car in a traffic jam, efficiency is getting cars off the road. And those transit options are often horrible for the disabled. The fight against self-driving cars is especially shortsighted. But yeah, wanting to make things worse for everyone tends to get a lot of push-back.
