    Amazing article and demos thank you. I’ve also been fascinated by what algorithms are driving elevators.

    As someone often using destination dispatch, I am inclined to think after the elevator arrives, you get to the destination more quickly than RSR or LOOK because it’s optimised everyone to the same floor (less stopping)

    So it may be a case of more waiting in the lobby but less in a claustrophobic box, which I’ll happily take
