@pakopako we also, so I hear. Have shitty city designs. The closet I ever came was a college campus and that was slow enough. When with them having headphones in all the time.
I have never understood what the point of running to a red light was though. Regardless
@pakopako The more that we learn about the complexities of making a car reliably self-driving on “ordinary” streets, the more we understand that we don’t know how to do it yet. I asked one of the engineers with the Texas Department of Transportation when he would expect to see safe and reliable self-driving cars on the road, and his response was “Not within the next 40 years.” There are so many technical issues to deal with, essentially none of which are currently funded for study, that even if there was to be a massive program undertaken today to bring it about, it would be 40 years before it would be likely to be present in the majority of cities in the nation. And the cost would be absolutely horrendous. It’s not just the cars that have to be smarter, it’s the roads.
@pakopako I hear skylines 2 is nice. And a CPUkiller. Not sure how it structures the rules though. Game designers setting the rules/rewards for city planning… May not be looking at studies
Might be better than politicians who are ignoring studies
7 years ago…
We still don’t have widely adopted self driving cars, but we still have Pokemon GO distracting drivers.

@werehatrack (looks at a map of Boston)
Yeah. That tracks.
@unksol you’re making me itch to play SimCity again.
