It wasn't really the freshness of air dishing out these thoughts... could be the knot at my neck behind the regurgitations! As I stood around a neatly groomed roundabout in Bracknell (should be another suburb around London) seeing the careful-yet-always-so-desperate drivers yielding for the rounding-about cars, the thought of value of customization crosses my mind...
UK may be (I am less travelled than "well-travelled") going the roundabout way and I have (well, we all have) noticed USA and most countries following the lights at the cross-roads... So, how do roundabouts relate to customized systems? Well, they give the drivers the freedom to judge the relative-right-of-way. The fact that one has been allowed to drive on the road, it seems pretty normal to get accorded with that right-of-way to judge the things.. don't we judge the distance (of the car trailing us), the speed of other cars..? So, why not here? Red/amber/green lights, on the other hand, work as fixed instructions and may be optimized as per traffic only to an extent.
So, what am I emphasizing here? Two facts - customized world should definitely be the more efficient than standard-driven world, and another, that the former is not for all... As we bring in the freedom of customization(s), we also assume the users/consumers to be judicious to handle the onus of responsibilities that come automatically with customized world...
