They should animate progress bars like driving a car in a traffic jam. Always stay a bit behind where you could be driving, if you see the person in front slow down, slow down as well, if you see them speed up, speed up as well, but always to a lesser extent than them to maintain a smooth speed for the person behind you. And once you see that the jam has cleared you can go full throttle again… if you’re on a german Autobahn.
