After using this technique for years, I can tell you that changing your mode of driving when you encounter traffic is difficult. Especially when you’re not used to “letting people pass”. But I’m convinced it helps break the jams.
I wonder if the autonomous vehicles in our future could adopt a similar strategy when encountering traffic to reduce jams for all of us even if they’re a small percentage of the overall drivers.
