Heard this one today:

if we have networked sensing infrastructure and #5G, why not turn that into a control infrastructure? #AutonomousVehicles are hard-we've been working on them for nearly half a century (more of you count some autonomous wheeled robots not made for passengers) and we still aren't there.

controlling vehicles, fitted with relatively simple sensors to verify prespecified dimensions, on a separate lane, with a place map-seems way easier than AVs. that's stuff we pretty much have now and the control logic is relatively simple and easier to manage congestion since it allows for more global control.

Apparently, some are moving in this direction, but they don't go all the way: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry-news-technology/analysis-will-intelligent-roads-finally-move-self-driving-cars
They still expect to use AVs, but to give them an 'easy mode'. Maybe this is a sunk costs thing, since I see existing AV players are involved. Better to ditch autonomy and settle for managed roads.

best change from #weightlifting for me is mental. it changes my orientation to the world from being pushed around by it to moving it around me. though the physical aspects of that are minuscule, that thought pattern has made me more intentional in my life overall.
