In this episode, we dive deep into the frustrating experience of slowing down in traffic and why it feels like you’re losing more time than you actually are. We break down the surprising math and psychology behind this sensation, with insights that will change the way you think about speed and time. Here are the top 5 takeaways from today’s discussion:
- The inverse relationship between speed and time: Learn why a small reduction in speed can double your travel time at lower speeds but have less impact at higher speeds.
- Why your brain overestimates the impact of slowing down: Discover how our brains are wired to miscalculate the effect of even small speed reductions.
- How navigation apps factor in real-time data: Explore how apps like Google Maps use data from other drivers to predict your travel time more accurately than you might think.
- The hidden cost of red lights: Understand how a single red light can wipe out any time gains from speeding.
- Is speeding really worth the risk? We debate whether saving a few minutes by speeding up is really worth the added stress and risk.
