I'm not going to let people intimidate me into tailgating
@weakspirit_ 4 роки тому
hence why you have enough distance for when traffic isn't too bad that people starts attempting to enter your lane. and as close as needed to signal other drivers that you don't fuck around so don't even try in heavier traffic. unless today's a good day or there's a merge or other equally reasonable situations.

I know - to accelerate cars at the same time - we can just connect all of them into a chain - then it does not matter, which car is accelerating now - it accelerates the whole chain of cars. To improve stability and reduce unnecessary incidents by drivers - we can remove turning front wheels with rigid ones and put all the wheels on some kind of guided tracks, so they would follow the path. Then we can optimize by making individuals cars bigger to fit more people and decrease an amount of links in the chain. I have revolutionised traffic for you, you're welcome!

@db9944 4 роки тому
It also would require we all follow each other at the same distance we stay at stoplights, but the thing is that most people don't drive that closely, so there is going to need to be some delay. Accelerating at the same time doesn't work. But one thing that can be done is when possible slow down earlier so that you can keep moving by the time you make it to the car that's stopped in front of you. There is no value in zooming up to a red light when you're all going to be in the same place. It's not likely you can do it at stoplights. It's more effective on freeways, but the principle's the same.

@DBZM1k3 3 роки тому
@@carrieullrich5059 I disagree. They are as much at fault as the people being too close. If you want to get off the highway you should move to the correct lane in an appropriate amount of time so you don't have to cut someone up to get off. You should never have to bring cars around you to a stop or slow down when you're coming off at a junction. If you are then you need to modify your driving and learn to look ahead into what you need to do to get to your destination.

3:50 In CGP Grey's future I guess pedestrians don't exist. Also it takes the same amount of distance to come to a stop no matter how fast you are going. The main reason cars spread out after piling up at a traffic light is you need to allow more distance between you and the car in front of you the faster you are going because it takes more distance to stop in case there is an emergency. This doesn't change with robocars.

@thekillercow586 Рік тому

@ric4397 Рік тому
No, the increasing distance between cars with increasing speed is to allow for reaction time, because at higher speeds you cover more distance quickly, so will need a greater distance between the car in front to react if they suddenly slow down. Self driving cars don't have reaction times. Instead they can communicate with each other and all slow down at the same instant negating the need for a large gap between vehicles, sort of like a train but without the links.... ....oh gee I just thought of the simple solution to traffic!
@thatstarwarsnerd6641 Рік тому
@@ric4397 no. Thinking distance (the distance covered in the time from seeing an obstacle to reacting to it) is directly proportional to velocity (s=vt), but braking distance (the distance covered in the time between the brakes being pressed and the car stopping) is proportional to the square of velocity, as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy via the brakes (E=0.5mv^2). This means that if you double velocity, you double thinking distance, but quadruple braking distance. While a self-driving car will reduce thinking distance massively, it can’t alter braking distance, which is the main reason behind the gap between cars

@sinthujankethes Рік тому
Masking a corporate for profit industry (automobiles) as the emobident of freedom to go where ever and whenever is misleading you thinking what you need NEGATIVE FREEDOM , ie from something. When really it's POSITIVE FREEDOM, ie freedom for something, is what give. So if walkable cities, protected network of bike infrasture, and great public transit existed alongside car infrastructure then you free choose how to move about instead of making car infrastructure at the expense other modes of transport. Also some car drivers are claiming a WAR ON CARS when implementing narrow streets, bike and bus lanes when it really is a WAR ON PEOPLE (WALKING, BIKING, AND TRANSIT) when we are asking for modes to provided instead of subsided auto infrastructure

I used to race karts back in the 70s. One of the biggest fields I raced in was at the National championships - around 60 karts in each heat, all lined up on a grid four abreast. When the flag dropped it was a given that everyone hit the throttle flat out. Mostly this worked just fine and within ten seconds everyone was safely underway. But when something went wrong, like a kart at the front stalling, all hell would let loose with smashed karts, injured drivers and a red flagged race. This is why road drivers don’t all set off together, although cooperating self driving cars could. When traffic levels reach a certain point the flow gets chaotic. I suspect this would still be the case even with self driving cars if they were only coordinating with near neighbours.

A positive behavior YOU can employ now, is to actually give extra room to the vehicle in front of you. Driving slightly slower than traffic in order to create a gap to the car in front of you, and then driving at the speed of traffic means that you (and by extension everyone behind you) have several extra seconds to react to potential pre-jam behavior from the car in front, all while only inconveniencing people behind you of no more than a few additional seconds of travel time. This extra space can allow the beginnings of an actual jam to resolve themselves before cascading into a total traffic stoppage that propagates down the line. A few people doing this every fifty cars or so can significantly buffer against traffic ever stopping entirely.

@johnwalker1058 Рік тому
Unfortunately, while your solution is reasonable, this would require people to practice the skill of "delayed gratification." Specifically, people would have to be willing to trade off a couple of seconds of faster travel up front for smoother sailing for the entire journey as a whole. And from experience, the practice of delaying instant gratification is something that a distressingly large number of people seem to struggle with immensely.

There was no way to do it except to push in (which is why the roads have now been changed).

Actually if we implement that, we might as well make the cars longer and spacier so more people can fit, and allow multiple household in a single car.

The trouble with ‘coupling’ cars as they take off is that following distances need to increase with speed, so the slow take off is actually closer to optimal than it may seem. I guess self driving cars that coordinate amongst themselves may be able to avoid this to some degree but there will be limits to what is possible (and safe). Ultimately as others have pointed out, trains and more densely packed vehicles like buses are a much better solution to shifting a lot of people around and minimising congestion.

imagine many people accelerating at the same time, because they are all sitting in the same vehicle, a bus. now imagine them traveling at predefined at specially prepared routes, a train

Now, separate them into their own little vehicles, so they can go to their actual destinations, several km away from the station. And let them keep their own vehicles, since they all have their own separate schedules, routes, plans and lives to live.

Saw what was left of a deer on an on ramp today, hit multiple times. Then saw a broken metal tripod thing right in the center of the road. 55 mph construction traffic, some doof cuts me off like insurance fraud. I managed not to hit anything, it's not hard.
