Game Theory and Driving

The mathematical patterns associated with driving is really beginning to fascinate me. It is so much like Game Theory. I can't wait until I have learned the math to equate all of these thoughts.

When a driver is on a highway alone, it like being the only player on a game board. You have a goal to win or finish the game (reach your destination). You follow the rules but do not have to negotiate with any other players (drivers).

When other players are in the game, then a negotiation process occurs involving various means of communications (blinkers,headlights, etc.). People negotiate for space and safety with each other. And everyone pretty much has the end goal of reaching their destination safely through a cooperative effort.

Of course there are always those drivers who zoom past and follow their own rules!
