[ekghexma] Impossible drill traffic intersection

In the future we will not have traffic lights.  Instead, computer controlled cars will speed through intersections at high speed, with cars in one stream passing precisely through gaps between cars in the intersecting stream.

It is terrifying to imagine this today (could we even stage a mock-up?), but in the future, we will consider it perfectly normal.

Kind of like Texas A&M marching band's "impossible" drill.

Interestingly, it feels like we do this with electrons in microprocessors today.
