You are thr traffic.
basically it's a thing with cars where if a single car slows down for any reason, even slightly, it causes a cascade effect that leads to traffic jams.
Yet another reason why cars suck.
Bumper riders Lane switchers Brake checkers Ramp users switching lanes wayyy too late
Similar to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence The gist of it is that once you reach critical density people can not drive homogenously anymore and (de-) accelerate constantly to not bump into the next car. The problem could be alleviated with self driving cars which negotiate a uniform speed.

Other than the obvious public transit solution comment, you are aware that ACC exists right?
We literally have the technology on almost all new cars to keep a uniform distance from the car in front of it. Even without that if people realized you can save fuck all time by speeding on your 30 mile commute we could have cars moving at the speed limit and just have smooth traffic flow without any need for self-driving

Idk why they call it a bottleneck, when it's a straight line through the opening of the bottle.
It's all a mad rush of people trying to get to where they don't want to be as fast as possible
slow speeds cause accidents, not speed, it it the sudden stop, the cause of some inbred driver
People changing lanes
If everyone stuck to the driving lane and only moved over to pass one car in front of them then there’d be less.
