   I just met Sebastian at a robotics conference in Switzerland last month, where he was talking about increasing the traffic capacity of highways 5-fold. His opener was to imagine an aerial picture of a busy highway, and compare how many pixels are displaying a "car" and how many "road". Even in heavy traffic there is always 4-5 times more road than cars – this means that by precise computer-driving it would be possible to double or triple the traffic density without building new roads.
   An amusing comment from a (european) member of the audience was "wouldn’t it be simpler to put cars on trains?"
