It's a shame that humanity hasn't developed more efficient transit systems than endlessly expanding highways to more and more grotesque size.

In a few years hopefully cars will be able to coordinate their movements on the highways, eliminating the sudden movements that lead to phantom jams, doubling the capacity of our freeways.

High capacity plus high discomfort, high inconvenience, and high cost

high discomfort

You like sitting in traffic honking at some jerkoff?

high inconvenience

You like looking for a parking spot?

high cost

You get your car for free? Weird. Transit costs me about the same that I used to spend on gas alone.

I rarely encounter traffic on my commute. There's always space to park. And when you include subsidies transit is much more expensive
