    Which is why electric cars will reduce this kind of thing. When you are using a high regen that slows you down you are less likely to hit the breaks which won’t trigger people behind you to break.

      Electric cars won’ make a difference. Braking/accordioning is a human pilot failure. Self-Driving (autonomous) vehicles will reduce this because lidar doesn’t get distracted by incoming text messages or road trance.

      …until you go plowing into that guy who just whipped in front of you and locked 'em up. I bet he braked at well more than .3 g. Additonally, you’ll likely get rear ended since your brake lights won’t light. (Technology Connections discusses this in better detail.)

      I love electric cars but let’s work towards trams, buses, and trains. electric cars are the red herring of solutions for traffic, climate, etc…
