That’s the thing : estimating traffic time is just as hard if not harder than parking. There’s no excuse for not providing a bracket to give people guesses for that, just like traffic delays.
Also the thing about fluid dynamics is that the flow characteristics change dramatically below and above the Reynolds coefficient, and that just shifts the issue : heavily trafficked roads tend to hover really close to it and being wrong by just a few cars or wrongly estimating their agressivity (yeah that changes things significantly) can completely throw off the calculations.


Also renewables are really cheap these days.
If oil prices spike too much, more things will transition, leading to more long-term oil sale losses. They can’t afford to hike prices too much.
