I'm sorry for the harsh critique. I think new radical ideas are great and people should question everything that's out there. But this way was not thought out well enough IMO.

I hope you keep it up and maybe have a follow up post where you can fix some of the flaws.

Some of your ideas are correct and noble. But always remember to take into account the real world driver and his/her behavioral flaws.

Few thoughts: Interesting would be a stochastic behavior model of drivers + driving strategies and in connection with red lights, accidents, rush hour to see what happens. Thought, that model would be quite some work in python.

Really appreciate the feedback, comes with the territory :)

I added an update to the article looking at what happens when you vary the average car length (corresponding to the % of trucks on the road), fwiw.

That's silly, at most reasonable traffic flow-rates the difference in a couple of feet between a short car and a long car (esp with how uncommon the outliers are) is insignificant compared to the constant overhead of the per-car padding. And below reasonable traffic flow you're already at a high enough density to cause catastrophic traffic speeds.

I just read some of your older blog posts. They're close to my research and well written and very informative. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! What's your research on?
