| When drivers keep a constant distance to the car in front and in the back of them then phantom traffic jams, traffic jams which occur without apparent reason, can be avoided and everybody reaches their destination faster than when drivers are tailgating. Since drivers are probably not changing their behaviour soon there is the suggestion to adapt cruise-control accordingly. |
