    Huge thanks to CuriosityStream for supporting Vsauce2.
    We play two-player games all day, every day, and our lives are a real-time exercise in game theory. We work out how to make the best move based not only on what we want the outcome to be, but also based on how we think the other player is going to act. Since they’re usually going through the same rough thought process -- sometimes consciously, sometimes subconsciously -- we’re embroiled in a constant series of games with all of us wanting to win.
    Winning can be the best result for you or the best outcome given the circumstances, and players are implicitly sorting out their strategies in a recursive process that waffles between self-interest and cooperation. Whether we’re driving down the highway and trying to go as fast as we can without getting pulled over or just trying not to be weird with our crush, we’re playing a game… and it turns out that a little cooperation goes a long way.

      The answer to that questions is always,"I'm sorry, I was concentrating on where I was going and the traffic around me and I had not looked at me speedometer in miles." This statement does 2 things: it keeps you from incriminating yourself and informs the officer that although you may have been speeding you were not being reckless.
      Often an officer will ask that question if he doesn't have solid evidence of you speeding. If he says he is going to ticket you, request to see the radar receipt. The radar will print a time/date stamped receipt when he clocks you. If he can't produce it then he will either not ticket you or you can go to court and dispute it.

      Timothy Neiswander screenshot and saved to my phone. Not that I speed because I don't unless I'm not paying attention to my speed on a long stretch just watching the road but I typically can feel if I'm speeding because my foot will hurt. That may sound kinda odd but I typically drive at 58 miles per hour or 68 miles per hour depending on roads. My foot is so use to applying pressure for those two speeds and if I go over those speeds especially 68 I start to get a cramp. I don't know if it is from muscle memory or what. I usually drive 79 miles to work so it's kind of a haul but my foot is very steady and I can usually tell pretty quickly if I speeding and slow down but I rarely do speed so I think it really is muscle memory for me. Long rant but I've noticed this for years but your screen shot might help me if I do get stopped. Good tip and sounds logical.

      anonymous Crabz say you’re going 60 on the highway, which is the speed limit. If everyone around you is going 80+, then you’re the hazard, since you’re essentially the same as a guy standing still in a 20 zone.
      Source: my grandpa once got pulled over for going the speed limit.

Why’s he driving exactly the speed limit, i wonder why he really really doesn’t want to get pulled over?” But if you go a few mph over the posted speed limit when a cop is around that makes the cop think “ That guy doesn’t seem to be too worried about going a little over even when I’m right behind him so he probably doesn’t have anything to hide or be worried about”

    Something I'd add about the nash equilibrium in the prisoner's dilemma situation is that if you tally up total scores in each outcome, both keeping quiet ends up as -2. Both talking ends up at -4. One talking and the other keeping quiet ends at -3. I mean group total. The rational actor in this situation will think as an individual and seek the 0, because it's the most positive result for all of this, on an individual scale, but this means both will likely do this, and lead to a collective -4. Team players generate the highest score on a group level, loners generate the lowest and shittiest score on a group level. Realistically speaking, nash equilibrium would always happen and you'd never see one side get 0 and the other -3.

      That was answered briefly in the video at 7:30. The general consensus, at least in the US, is about 5 mph over the limit. However, 55 mph usually means it's a construction zone (70 mph is more common for a highway / interstate, at least where I am). If it were a construction zone instead of the regular speed limit, I'd drive exactly what the sign says and no more because 1) it's more dangerous to speed there, 2) fines are doubled, 3) more likely to be watched than a random spot of road 4) the police's lower tolerance for anyone who is speeding.

    Something that was left out that i think is important is why people are nice to each other: in the cold world of game theory, there is the notion of "repeated games"-both players will behave "nicer" if they must face each other again. Intuitively, this makes sense: if one prisoner betrays the other, than in successive rounds of the prisoners dilemma they will betray each other over and over. However, if the prisoners must face each other again, then they will cooperate infinitely.

      CuckTube we use rubber because it has a higher friction coefficient. Doesn’t really matter the surface, it’s all about weight and acceleration.

      @@SuperSerNiko97 more surface area mean more traction thats why you dont over inflate your tires so theyre at the optimal point of havin just the right amount of traction too little and theres too much surface area or a contact patch meaning more friction and the vehicle wont be efficient and wont preform perform optimally because the friction will slow it down too much air and the tires will be too firm and have too little of a contact patch meaning less friction and you will lose traction and slide around

    • @SuperSerNiko97
      @SuperSerNiko97 5 років тому +1

      GrapeDrank001 that’s absolutely wrong, bicycles and motorcycle have much less contact area than cars or trucks but handle the same lateral force, explain why!
      The friction law of physics only depend on weight and material, the surface area cancels out.
      Sport cars have wider tires for many other engineering reasons, for example: a wider tire have less deflection so the car is more stable; a wider tire touches the ground more transversally than longitudinally, so the tire touches the ground for less time (and when they do the pressure on the ground is softer) but touches the air for more time, this means a more colder tire; and last but not least a wider tire, due to the less pressure on the ground, last longer.
      Put all those things together and you’ll find out that you can use a much softer tire without all the trouble you would have on a narrow one.
      Talking about what you said, you have to inflate it at the right point not because of any crucial change in the traction but because you use all the tread homogeneously without wasting it.

    If your tyre is correct pressure then there's the most contact. That said when it's underinflated there's actually a pocket that forms in the middle due to the sidewall being pushed towards the center and creating an arch thus reducing surface contact area.
    If it's wet you'll probably have less grip if you're underinflated rather than overinflated. You may have better grip if you're over inflated than regular when it's wet.

    The coefficient of friction/maximum velocity a car can turn around a corner has nothing to do with how much area of contact there is between the tires and the road, it's all about the kind of surfaces that are in contact/providing the friction. The equation for the force of friction is Friction = Normal Force x Coefficient of Friction, there is no accounting for the area of the contact between the surfaces, because it doesn't matter.
    Another way to think about this is that the bigger the contact patch is, the lower the pressure is on that patch/the less weight there is per unit area of the patch. With a smaller area providing friction, there is a higher amount of friction per square unit, and vice versa (bigger area provides lower amount of friction per square unit of area)
