(46,179 posts)1. That's fascinating.
Something to keep an eye on.
I'd love to see some other things as well:
Reduce population; fewer humans, less traffic. Also a good way to reduce the carbon footprint.
Abundant high speed rail and other systems to get cars off the roads and leave them to public transit...which should be, yes, free.

(5,917 posts)3. seems like a bad idea given the cratered state of our roads
people drive at the edge or over the line to avoid potholes. This thing relies on cars to be centered in their lanes to pass over.
