That looks like the ideal place to see what your pupils are made of?

If that is film rather than simulation it is quite remarkable. Is it?

My guess would be it's some heavy editing/cgi as the margins look much too close and the sheer number of vehicles/drivers involved make it seem unlikely it's real.

Agreed. In which case it is rather good cgi work.

Thought it seemed odd that there were trains of the same car. Probably just a composite video with a bit of trial and error to see how close you can get them.
I'd imagine if it was stunt drivers they'd choose different colour cars so they have a definite gap to aim for.

Showing how junction capacity will improve once everything is autonomous (so long as you can also fix the pedestrians/cyclists too?) :lol:
