why dont we invest the billions in car AI into car standardization stuff like nav lights and "better" infrastructural.

like not to devil advocate , we could probably get away with dumb computer assisted driving if we had better street markings and organization, no potholes ever, etc.

This always makes me chuckle because Cambridge MA, home of MIT and Harvard among other schools, has the dumbest mother loving traffic lights city wide in existence. It can be 2 AM and ZERO traffic and you will catch every light on Mass Ave and sit there as no other cars go anywhere.

This technology already exists, you put sensors at the intersections that detect if there are cars waiting or not and controls the lights accordingly. It can even behave differently at different times of day to account for traffic patterns!

Uh. Huh. That begs the question: does Elon understand that Brazil is, you know, not using the Constitution of the United States, and *might* even have somewhat different laws from the USA? I think he understands the concept of country, maybe, since he decided that Africa wasn't white enough and left, but that may just be a concept based on distance from a place, rather than actual political boundaries.
I'm not sure he truly internalizes how other country's governments work.

I have a magical story how I observed a stupid intersection over time, found an actual real contact in the Boston Transportation Department, and got a light changed, which in turn, as I told him would happen, cleared a traffic jam off Storrow Drive.

You're welcome. I also got street lights installed on the strip of Boylston Street right before Mass Ave, that strip of stores and bars.
And some other stuff too I've probably forgotten. For a couple of years me and this guy in the BTD got stuff done.

Well I should write a novel honestly. Also, I'd like to point out I didn't even own a car at the time, I walked to work past this intersection every morning and observed the madness.

And I am the crazy person who came out on a weekend and just stood at the Mass Ave/Boylston St intersection and observed this light and its impact for an hour or more, taking notes and poo poo.

The traffic light is still there (it's dumb, it should be removed), but not nearly as bad as it once was. Belvidere St and Mass Ave.

Hell yeah, same. If it's absolutely safe to run a red light, I do. As long as I am in a non-camera ticket state.
