I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it’s not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

      I think the inability to communicate makes road rage worse, actually. Simple matters that could be solved by a quick comment become rage inducing because there’s literally nothing you can do about them.

        I think you are severely overestimating the average maturity of humans, especially when they feel powerful as they do when driving.

          They feel empowered, partially, because they’re basically anonymous. Everyone is basically a faceless tank on the road.
