Racing to work, to pick up your children from school, or go from one errand to the next not only wastes money and sends harmful emissions into the air, it barely saves you time, new research says.

    You are very confused. These kinds of studies have been common since at least the 1940s.

      I could be. But where do they get the data?

        If you really want to know, you’d need to get a copy of the paper.

        University research on human subjects follow a number of elaborate privacy rules, including those of the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects. Researchers aren’t interested in our individual data; they’re interested in our data in aggregate for statistical analysis.

          Researchers aren’t interested in our individual data, but companies sure are interested in selling it…

            Yes, of course. But that’s upstream from this research. The data would have existed regardless.
