First Principles

THE  TROUBLE  WITH  DRIVING IS WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT IT

All driving problems arise from a single source, our standard paradigm for driving.

DRIVING  ON  ITS  OWN  TERMS:  Toward the Intrinsic Logic of Driving

Everything affecting driving: legislation, enforcement, design, engineering, education, testing, research, custom, and performance must be considered in the light of driving’s intrinsic logic.  Any concept, policy, or opinion incompatible with that logic has to be wrong.

THE  HOLY  GRAIL

Ultimately, everything about driving comes down to the quality of traffic flow.  Every element of driving either improves or impairs that flow.  Can we test whether our new paradigm, developed in the pure light of driving’s own intrinsic logic, optimizes the quality of traffic flow?  Does a standard or ideal exist?  Is there some sign, a prize, an affirmation?  Is there a  Holy Grail?

Control is mankind’s fundamental need.  It is the underlying reason for every human pursuit.
