Solving traffic congestion one intersection at a time.

[NextWave DAO @NextWaveDAO]

Set a reminder for tonight’s AMA with @davewin and ThruGreen!

We’ve all wondered why traffic backs up, 🚑 get stuck in traffic, and slow drivers clog the left lane 😡

Why not incentivize a better future? We can with microtransactions 😎

@fatmonky @paulg Plus the "founding team" has courage like we haven't seen in a while.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@Dub324 @ErcXspace @elonmusk Uh, no. @dub324 I think you misunderstood what I said.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@Dub324 @ErcXspace @elonmusk Yes, maybe smart ones that are better matched to traffic.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@Walters_Ego @benlandis @elonmusk Agreed. We need more connectivity and data. One of the biggest shortcomings with today's traffic lights is most are dumb. They don't actually know what the current conditions are. And the sensors are not good enough because the signals are generally not connected to anything.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@benlandis @elonmusk And add a component of behavioral economics to actually get people to drive those speeds.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@JeremiahWJohn @DocJohnG @elonmusk Well one reason is because Germans actually know how to drive because they have to get proper training to get licensed. Here, well let's say it's a little less stringent.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@DNAsturges @ErcXspace @elonmusk Or this https://t.co/YcFQRfthix

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@ChuckBaggett @ErcXspace @elonmusk It's too much to assume that drivers will be able to control speed properly. I mean, watch any road and it's clear that is too much to ask.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@milind_kawli @ErcXspace @elonmusk Yeah, that's not chaotic or dangerous at all. I'll pass.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@steveWithaG @ErcXspace @elonmusk Yes, this only works if 100% of vehicles are self-driving and all other modes of transport are separated from that intersection. And even then there will be hiccups.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@xrpatari @elonmusk Only if the cost doesn't become so cheap that it induces additional demand.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@KhanOgden @elonmusk We don't even have to wait for self-driving cars. We can fix the lights now to start with.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@joshpage @elonmusk Yes, if drivers had a *reason* to be more predictable. Like getting more green lights.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@elonmusk Fixing traffic:
1. Figure out where traffic is and where it is going.
2. Connect traffic signals to that reality.
3. Prioritize the most predictable drivers (give them carrots).

Give people more green lights to change their behaviors, create a virtuous cycle.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@elonmusk @BillyM2k @OfficialABQ @elonmusk that + location/heading data from each Tesla. We are doing this now: https://t.co/5ncTM3Cpk9

It's not rocket science! (Couldn't help myself.)🤣

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@tonymelone @TransAlt @StreetsblogNYC @NYC_SafeStreets @CMShahanaHanif @Bobby4Brooklyn @zellnor4ny Wow, that's crazy what happened. Let's be honest. You encountered some animals. Changing the street designs alone won't "fix" it. There's a deeper societal problem. Hope your recovery is swift.

[David Nguyen @davewin]

@elonmusk @OfficialABQ I actually have a solution already on the road as @fastlapp mentioned: https://t.co/c5JcZHjcTX

Most people would be shocked at how bad and wasteful traffic signals are.
