This is a huge stretch, but i wonder if having accurate Maps and estimated arrival times has caused people to start timing things too tightly and encourages rushing to "make back time." Long shot ,i know, but something i think about

I think about that a lot, glad to see someone else has noticed it too. I don’t think it’s the main or only issue, but I definitely feel more pressure to shave time off when I can see an ETA going up or down. If it’s a route I know well and I don’t have it on, then I don’t care about a minute here or there.
