More on Traffic

The guys over at cognitive daily noticed that even under perfect conditions where everyone is trying to avoid traffic jams that traffic jams occur.




So remind me again why we're not required to telecommute more? It seems that the human race is just a little to uncoordinated to handle driving without traffic jams.

Todd,

The simulation is beautiful. It's been done mathematically in stochastic systems before, so it isn't a surprise, but it is instructive to see.

I love it! I also like the idea of telecommuting.
