Most traffic jams actually act as a kind of compression wave moving backwards through traffic. Something as small as a squirrel running across the road can cascade into an hour-long jam.

One person brakes, then the person behind them, then the person behind them, but each time they are getting closer to each other (nobody stays equidistant from the car in front of them when braking). This causes a greater and greater slowdown as more cars are compacted into a tighter space, which travels backwards in traffic like a wave. Often the person who caused it doesn’t even realize anything happened.

A lot of mapping software actually estimates a given traffic slowdown by treating traffic as a fluid with a wave moving backwards through it.

Gotta check for shrinkflation

Oh gosh, that’s even worse than I thought. Nothing like getting doxxed by your social media app; glad I left insta some time ago.

AFAIK the new update makes it so your current location is shared with every post, by default, rather than just being something you can do if you feel like it

This is really cool!
