《科学美国人》2019年11月1日这一期,Ant Colonies Avoid Traffic Jams 这篇文章讲蚁群有避免交通堵塞的能力。
Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That’s because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in optimizing traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans—and more like ants.
蚂蚁能帮助我们解决交通问题吗?不太可能,Motsch说。这是因为,当涉及到以尽可能快的速度从A点到达B点时,人类司机会把自己的目标放在首位。为了给蚁群提供食物,单个蚂蚁必须更加合作。但这项研究可能有助于优化自动驾驶汽车的交通流量,因为自动驾驶汽车可以被设计得不要像自私的人类,而更像蚂蚁一样。

单词optimize里面的optim部分,来自拉丁语optimus, 意思是“最好的”。所以,在英语里包含optim的单词,多与此相关:
