Controlling/directing traffic back in the 80's & 90's in Japan with those giant traffic boards beside freeways is identical to how Google Maps functions today. They both rely on data collection to run smoothly and accurately. Japan used cameras and other means to obtain traffic data while Google simply stalks your every move when location services are turned. Google notices that 80 Google map users are going 35mph on 65mph highway ? Must be a slowdown/accident/congestion. I read an article not long ago about a man in some European country who happened to have and excessive amount of cell phones for whatever reason.

The door/wing mirror attachment for notices, is such a fantastic idea. No risk of anything being removed without causing damage/dedicated cutting equipment.

It also allows a motorist to pull away in a hurry if needs be, and can't be overlooked quite so easily.

What about 2020s Japan

[@niklas3595]

Driving a car in Tokyo is just so punishable that when I went there last, nobody drove cars anymore. The streets were almost completely empty most of the time. That's because they all use public transportation now. And let's face it: it's one of the world's best.

[@Fs3i]

Tokyo is too big to make use of cars effectively. It's 1.5x the size of New York.

[@stormer7502]

They use cars reasonably. A society which isn't addicted to cars builds better places and forms social cohesion. We need to treat cars as the large pieces of heavy machinery they are instead of extensions of ones legs.

[@taoliu3949]

​@@Fs3iYou're talking about the Prefecture as a whole. The Eastern parts are more rural and akin to Long Island or Downstate NY. The Eastern "Special Wards" are more coterminus with NYC and the two have roughly the same size and density.

[@Fs3i]

@@taoliu3949 New York is also too big for cars, but I don't want to shock people too much :)

[@StellaEFZ]

Of course, cars are not suited to the city. The faster we get rid of them the better

To anyone who wants the full video; it's called Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld S01E01 Japan. Covers the 90's drift scene and much more, and has this bit in it as well

The parking metres are still the same (25 years on) and the traffic advisory boards got an LED upgrade, but are otherwise similar.

[@CarbonatedTurtle]

I got to visit a much more up to date version of this in Tokyo in 2019 and it's pretty incredible. There's nothing that can happen on any major road without them knowing about it and addressing it almost immediately. Compare that to here in Canada and it makes us look like a third world country, which we basically are in so many ways compared to Japan.

[@maxamaxa194]

I visited Japan a lot as a kid during the 90s. It used to be a much more amazing place compared to the US. It truly was like going to a city of the future. If you go now though, not much has changed since then.

[@Goatknyght]

In the UK if you call the council about a car blocking your drive and you can't get out, you get put on hold for 35mins before being told "Oh sorry it's a Sunday/bank holiday, there's nothing we can do. Have you tried knocking on the neighbours and see if it's anyone's?... No there's no one to ticket it either." True story

Haha, in germany we would employ the same amount of workers for a construction site of 30 km, not working in the night, on friday, weekends, before 10 am, after 4 pm and don`t forget the 2 hour lunchbrake and the 20 cigarette brakes.... Takes only 5 years to finish.
