The crew conducted two tests. First, with one car that weaved in traffic while the other car stayed in one lane...
The weaver took 1 hour and 11 minutes to get to the destination, while the sticker took 1 hour and 13 minutes.

Then another test with one weaver and four cars that stuck to one lane.
The weaver took 1 hour and 16 minutes to get to the destination, while the stickers took and average of 1 hour and 25 minutes.
