Amazing Cutting-Edge Revolutionary Technological Algorithmic Science Invention - eviltoast

I saw a good article on c/upliftingnews about AI improving traffic signal controllers. It’s good and all, I just can’t help but think of the “look at what they need to have a fraction of our power” meme while reading it

      I couldn’t watch the first video, all I see is an ad. The second video is not an intersection.

      That said, a roundabout does solve the issue, both for cars and bicycles.

        Just reload and watch the video. Humans evolved for that speed, which is the reason we don’t need traffic lights to avoid people bouncing into each other in busy pedestrian areas. The same translates well for bicycles.

        Only once we start putting tons of metal around us, allow for super fast acceleration, and isolate ourselves from our surroundings by blocking view and and sounds, this becomes an issue.

          So you’re saying bikes going at 30 km/h are the same as people walking. Got it.

            People biking at scramble intersections do not ride at 30Kph. Acting in good faith helps maintaining a friendly discussion.

                Yes, after you repeatedly spewed bullshit about things you have never experienced in your life, and when people helpfully handed you videos that explain things you insisted it wouldn’t show what it shows (and yes, that is an intersection in the second video).

                Just stop trolling and talking out of your ass and you won’t get downvoted. Easy, huh?

                  Dude, seriously: are you ok? Is something going on in your life that makes you so upset at such a trivial thing? I’m here if you need someone to talk to.

                  Honestly. I’ve been through some shit, I know how it is. Forget this discussion, and talk to me.
