Why do you think that’s true?
When 100 cars hit a decrease from 4 lanes to 3 you are going to have a jam no matter how the cars are driving.
When we continue using individual transportation to allow suburbs to expand further and further from the places people want to go roads will continue to fill and traffic will slow and jam.
- 1970-01-01 10mo agoWhy do you think FSD cannot handle a simple zipper merge?
- idontwantthis 10mo agoIt can but it requires slowing down regardless. If you have the same number of vehicles doing a zipper merge you will have a jam. There’s no way around that. Add in that you will probably have to have vehicles with no passengers repositioning or picking up passengers it will quickly lead to as bad or worse congestion.
- idontwantthis 10mo agoJust for another point, cars need to slow down to turn. There’s no way around that and it has nothing to do with reaction times. Robotaxis behind could anticipate that and slow down gradually to improve flow, but they still have to slow down just as much. We can make the roads straighter with more gentle curves and robotaxis can drive 100mph you say! Keep going…
- 1970-01-01 10mo ago>cars need to slow down to turn. Cars traveling at a safe speed do not need to slow down in a turn. If the friction on the 4 wheels doesn't result in oversteer nor understeer, you just keep going through. So what are you referring to? Laws of nature? Laws of the road? .
- idontwantthis 10mo agoI don’t know what you mean. What is a safe speed? It is not possible to make a 90 degree turn at a stoplight intersection at 45 mph.
