I saw a good article on c/upliftingnews about AI improving traffic signal controllers. It’s good and all, I just can’t help but think of the “look at what they need to have a fraction of our power” meme while reading it

    So you’re saying bikes going at 30 km/h are the same as people walking. Got it.

      People biking at scramble intersections do not ride at 30Kph. Acting in good faith helps maintaining a friendly discussion.

        You’re right. I was just imagining crossing an intersection at the same speed I normally cycle at, but of course I’d slow down at the intersection, the same way I stop at the red light.

        Edit: Why the downvotes? I’m conceding I was wrong.

        Edit 2:

        Alright, this is actually funny.

        I made a few off the cuff comments without thinking it through, while I was doing something else, and was shown that I was wrong, so I said as much, because why wouldn’t I? I don’t mind learning, right? Who cares?

        Well, it seems you care. You care very much. To the point of toxicity. Confirming your reputation as a community.

        So from today, I’ll make it my mission to troll you. I’ve never done this, and I’m even a cyclist for fuck’s sake, but you’re so easily triggered and so toxic… It’s going to be fun! :D

        I’ll subscribe now, let the party begin!

          Yes, after you repeatedly spewed bullshit about things you have never experienced in your life, and when people helpfully handed you videos that explain things you insisted it wouldn’t show what it shows (and yes, that is an intersection in the second video).

          Just stop trolling and talking out of your ass and you won’t get downvoted. Easy, huh?

            Dude, seriously: are you ok? Is something going on in your life that makes you so upset at such a trivial thing? I’m here if you need someone to talk to.

            Honestly. I’ve been through some shit, I know how it is. Forget this discussion, and talk to me.

      The average speed of bicycles is roughly 20 km/h:

      The average travelling speed in Copenhagen is 15.5 km/h for cyclists and 27 km/hour for cars. In places with green wave for cyclist the average speed is 20.72 km/h.
