There once was a pipe dream of a dual mode car/monorail vehicle. RUF utube video seemed promising, since cars & busses could dock together for longer stretches on rail.
I believe the furthest it went, was a test track loop and a couple prototype vehicles.
Ah, a transport system with fixed entry/exit points after which the rest is manual transportation. We have a similar system in The Netherlands. It's called trains and bicycles. You bring your bike onto the train or you take a public transportation bike at the railway station. Or a public transportation electric car at the railway station. Or a bus, subway, tram. You can even bring your bike with those. And no parking costs or searching for a parking spot. Just park your bike right outside your destination. Or right in front of your home, even if you live in an apartment in the city center. It's revolutionary. Check This guy's channel for more on Dutch infrastructure. We're number 1 in the world for best roads.
I'm surprised to see the inventor still posting YouTube. The test track was torn down and the cars put in a museum 10-15 years ago.
It does solve a still increasingly relevant issue, but I really don't think it will ever be done that way.
What about a train for cars to replace highways
This exists, Amtrak even runs one called the Auto Train, but it's a lot more efficient to just leave the cars behind and put the people straight on the train.
