You know, I think the way to get these protocols in place is to offer new capabilities to cars with these systems.
What if you could do 100mph with perfect congestion control in the e-lane?
- mjevans 2y agoI would gladly give up my ability to drive (under normal circumstances) on the freeway if it ended the reign of terror that rubberneckers and people that don't keep right except to pass (the law in at least WA state if not where you are too). Just imagine a world where rush hour didn't mean slowdowns. Oh and also get rid of the onramp metering; it's worse than useless when traffic can't zipper and accommodate the influx of new vehicles.
- micahdeath 2y agoWhat is an e-lane? Usually e- means e-mail or electronic.
- SoftTalker 2y agoI guess it's an express lane, but limited to cars that fully participate in these imaginary traffic management protocols that don't exist.
- m463 2y agoIt was something I made up. The rulemakers would allow your car to drive at a MUCH higher speed than allowed by "human" driving. and it would maintain the speed. The cars would perfectly merge in and out, maybe including perfect metering or buffering of cars exiting. They would drive at a specific distance from each other and speed up and slow down synchronously. oh, and don't charge for it.

- arcticbull 2y agoIt's like the memes about how 'Americans' will use any insane representation to avoid metric. It applies equally well to avoiding rail infrastructure. Instead of putting two metal sticks down and getting a big metal box for it, we are leaning into AGI and quadratic complexity infrastructure to stop a problem in a space we absolutely refuse to constrain because reasons.
