The Solution To Traffic Is Simple, But I Guarantee You'll Hate It

Alright, firstly, the gap left by drivers when accelerating from traffic lights is left there for safety. Even if autonomous cars completely eliminate driver error, they will still fail mechanically from time to time. If the cars are programmed to leave virtually no space in between them, then would be fender benders will become hundred car pile-ups. So, sounds great in theory, not so well in practice. Until an autonomous car is made which NEVER experiences a mechanical failure, this will never, or should never, become practice.

Secondly, im not sure how people are taught to drive in other countries, but in Canada one of the first things we are taught is the two second rule. Meaning the minimum follow distance behind a car in front of you is a full two second count, no matter what speed you are travelling at, as the distance scales with speed. If everyone obeyed this rule that THEY ARE TAUGHT, all of the cars would be perfectly in the middle of each other.

Endrant.

If all cars were autonomous we could as well just use the bus. Sucks equally

the power of inertia…

oh, and accelerate as hard as you can if you’re the first car at a green light.

We are getting lazier people… At least we can troll autonomous cars. Block the road with a cardboard box and the car is useless… A normal car would just go around it

Audi drivers wont be happy to share this🤔

Here’s a simple solution: change your behaviour to make self-driving cars unnecessary. The end.

the other way to speed things up at traffic lights, is drag racing of the line :D works fine

Actually , everything can be made better by computers . So why don’t we make some artificial intelligence that is able to do what humans do , and then all suicide . After all , they would be able to do what we do better .

F*ck the future
