Understand the historical and geographical reasons behind driving on the left or right side of the road. This analysis traces patterns from medieval horse riders and sword fighting to Napoleonic conquests and modern traffic laws.
I explore the historical origins of driving on the left, from medieval swordsmen protecting themselves to Napoleon’s influence on European roads. I investigate why conventions differ between countries and how American standards evolved over time.
I found a comprehensive resource explaining which side of the road people drive on globally, detailing the historical origins and specific country regulations for international travelers and those curious about traffic laws.
I rode in an ambulance through Bangalore and noticed that while most drivers remarkably give way, delays usually happen because people are distracted by headphones, panic, or don't know how to yield safely without crashing.
I used demucs and ffmpeg for audio, tested Astral’s ty type checker, and updated my TTS cost analysis. I also explore AI personhood, model self-correction, and bizarre self-driving car mishaps involving the moon and wet cement.
I explore why data analysis fails when it lacks a narrative. Using my dry research on Indian meter readings and past jargon-filled reports, I argue that simplicity is essential for driving real-world understanding and action.
