Poor infrastructure.

>black ice

because people have no clue how to drive and rubberneck at any given thing

>>16944626
because people do not attempt to drive efficiently

Our roads are beyond capacity when it comes to handling useless drivers, and only a very small amount of people can handle being decent drivers.

I hope the future gives us self driving cars for the masses, and on-road manual operation reserved for the few people who can pass rigorous testing and training that basically amounts to racing school meets battlefield tactics in terms of difficulty, so long as the select few is limited to scooters/motorcycles and lightweight sedans/wagons because anything else would cause too much damage if they were to fuck up.

Mostly this. Liberals will try and spread their lies about how human nature will inevitably result in a boat load of traffic no matter what kind of infrastructure you have in place but anyone with half a brain can tell this is just lies and another way for them to shill their le we need more government regulation and le we need more public transit nonsense which is really just another channel to rob our liberties and tax money

go look at places like Las Vegas where the highways were put together using logic and reasoning. traffic still exists but it absolutely doesn't compare to the bumper to bumper gridlock you will find in the Northeast.
