So there I was, driving south on the Florida turnpike. The journey started in Boca Raton and was going to end in Ft. Lauderdale. Somewhere cutting through pompano beach (where Steedas HQ is) I saw this magnificent car from about 500 yards out. I knew with out a doubt it was a mustang, but something was different. So being stuck behind some traffic I decided to do some evasive maneuvers. To my surprise it was a silver 2013 pony V6 w/ a black vert top. I Didn't even know they were hitting the roads yet. the presence of even the v6 was strong. The only thing I wanted was to give the guy a thumbs up. But even with my roaring silver 2004 GT didn't even get a head turn... Sigh. Oh well. But that 2013 looked great.

I live in the Detroit area so if you pay attention, you'll see all kind of things driving around town. Yesterday driving home from work in what turned out to be too much traffic to get a lasting look, a GHIG Boss 302 with manufacturers plates on it (some lucky Ford employee taking it home for the night) made a nifty little maneuver thru traffic and zoomed right by me. I tried to catch up but I got stuck behind someone who thought it was ok to go 60 in 70 zone.

The observation that simple, purely deterministic traffic models possess jamiton solutions indicates that phantom traffic jams are not necessarily caused by individual drivers behaving in a "wrong" way. In fact, they can even occur if all drivers behave by the exact same laws. In the considered traffic models, two key effects work towards the occurrence of phantom traffic jams: first, denser traffic travels slower; and second, it takes a certain "adjustment time" for drivers to react to new traffic conditions. These effects are counter-acted by a certain tendency of the drivers to drive preventively. In light traffic, the good effects dominate. In heavy traffic, the bad effects prevail. Hence, phantom traffic jams are probably an unavoidable feature of traffic flow.
