Cloudflare says humans could become a "rounding error" as bots generate 1,000 times more internet traffic

I mean of course, how many pedestrians are on roads versus cars? Used to be lots of people walking on roads until cars were invented.

I had a realization recently that with driverless cars becoming more common that one day I’m going to be stuck in traffic surrounded by dozens of other cars that are completely empty. They’ll just be going to pick up a human driver somewhere or going to park and no one will care because instead of eliminating traffic we’ll just ensure humans are entertained while stuck in it.

Why bother to fix traffic congestion if you can just play PlayStation the whole time or whatever?

If most cars are autonomous, and capable of coordinating with each other (via mesh network, for example), then traffic congestion might become much easier to prevent reduce and solve mitigate. (Edit: Based on responses, I may have chosen my words poorly)

You’re probably not wrong though. I imagine it’ll get worse before it gets better.
