The game of autmotive chicken is classic iterated prisoners' dilemma though, innit.

Finite or infinite iteration?

I rather like the game theory for the game of chicken. The superior strategy is to remove your steering wheel and show it to your opponent and throw it out of the window.

With the Caterham, I finally have a removable steering wheel.

Depends upon your assumptions, but finite is probably a better model. Gets a bit more exciting than that, because (again depening upon assumptions made) it's unknown know at the start how many iterations there are going to be before collision. At some point this will probably become clear how many now remain though - and the person who knows it last will win! (Prior very counter-intuitive deductions depend upon me having remembered a few things correctly...)

Ah now, Games theory, is all of Life a game?
In relationships, love, business, politics?
If in these, why not on the roads?
You get one over another.
That's the Game.

Nah, I'm playing a game, am I not?
It's patently obvious to us all.

But surely that means that you are introducing (perhaps removing ?) variables within the game itself. At that point your initial model is no longer valid so you should stop, create a new model and restart the scenario.

jeeez. I thought I'd surfed to Pistonheads but instead I find myself at confused.com!

Just introduce a flexible interface between the model and reality at the interpretation phase.

I think one iteration each time the distance between the cars is halved.

In this game, I'd never turn away.

As for teh OP - perhaps a question that is too deep, or perhaps too many smokes and not enough pancakes?
