    Lemme guess, next they’ll try connecting multiple carriages to carry more people per vehicle then work with local governments to build dedicated right of way…etc etc…

      And put some guidelines in the road to assist with self driving. Maybe make them out of metal for improved durability. Then swap out the rubber-wheeled tires for some more efficient and less poluting conical metal wheels since we don’t need to worry about them running on asphalt anymore.

      Oooh. And as long as we have multiple carriages connected, we can add a walkway between them. Then instead of all of them being for passengers, they can subsidize the cost by having a car dedicated to selling snacks, or other items. You can literally buy your morning coffee from the road!

        Do you want everyone to just sit there, drink their coffee, read daily news or a book and gasp interact with others like some kind of savages? Back in my day we stared at same-looking highways for hours, it builds character.
