theguardian.com/media/20…

Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?
When the streaming giant began making films guided by data that aimed to please a vast audience, the results were often generic, forgettable, artless affairs. But is there a happy ending?

Over the past 2 years, 230 intersections in Flanders were equipped with “intelligent traffic lights”, lights that take into account how busy roads are.

But because the most popular traffic apps like Google Maps and Waze are not participating in the project, the system only reaches a small proportion of drivers and cyclists.
