Autonomous cars probably make transit optimization easier, but there's a tradeoff here that doesn't have very much to do with autonomy: The more people in the car, the less convenient for each rider, both because of…
Some of the numbers in this article don't make sense to me. Today "cars are driven just 4% of the time". If you assume for a moment that people's transportation usage time stays the same, and "the number of vehicles on…
Good question. TCP/NC = network coding I assume. This is not really a competitor to PCC: the two techniques are solving different problems and could work together. PCC controls the sending rate, while erasure coding (in…
Check the paper for all the magic: http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.7092 Sec 2.1 describes the key ideas, with longer description after. PCC gets consistent high performance because it observes what performance outcome…
baruch -- I'll add a bit to what Mo said. There are many systems, including major services from large companies that we all use every day, that use alternate or unfriendly TCPs behind the scenes (and sometimes in the…
