Readit NewsSociety can either pull back those that achieve (to level the playing field) or there will be winners and losers. However, there are still welfare programs and taxation to offset those at the lower end (at least in some parts of the world).
However, the current system is imbalanced with the rich getting richer. As the rich get richer, Everyone else gets poorer. Taxation was "meant" to level that playing field, but tax havens and vested interest by politicians to give tax breaks to the wealthy have allowed the horse to bolt.
It's paywalled !!!
Keep downvoting me all you want.
I feel my point is valid.
The abstract you point to does include the methods.
Seriously, this stuff is to be determined from top down, not from perspective of individual self-interested drivers with zero context, little responsiblity and no interest of ensuring optimum flow.
Also, the general culture of aggression and disregard for law is something that is not healthy for neither society, nor economy.
I wonder how well the self driving car copes with these.
In fact, I wonder how well the self driving car copes with an overly aggressive driver cutting in front and slamming on their brakes just to piss you off. I guess it would handle that better than my mothers elderly neighbour who recently didn't manage to brake in time and hit the twerp, writing off her vehicle in the process. Of course, it was counted as her fault since she struck the car in front..
I guess it depends on officer mood and how long the car was safely in your lane before the breaking. Mostly officer mood.
Still, there are lots of completely legal sudden braking activities that would cause a collision over 10% of the time. People don't actually drive totally defensively all the time.
I get this argument, but IMO it would ultimately devolve into a system with a fixed set of sanctioned fields of study which only the wealthy could venture outside of. We really don't want that.
Don't forget that knowledge is an end unto itself: an educated person is better for society at large, even if they're flipping burgers for a living. The economic utility of a college education extends far beyond the student being educated.
