Maps of Manhattan show the effect of hacking and stranding 20 percent of vehicles on the streets at varying times of day. The fainter the street, the slower the traffic. Streets completely faded out are gridlocked to a standstill, and very faint streets are no longer practically usable. The simulations are conservative as they do not factor in spillover traffic from blocked roads, delivery trucks, and normal traffic obstructions. Credit: Yunker lab
