I remember during the initial hype for driverless cars there was a plan for cars to have ad hoc/ mesh networks with each other so they could perfectly optimize traffic and weave lane changes and left turns in between much smaller gaps than humans can. Somehow it seems just as far away as when it was first proposed.
Probably further away than when it was first proposed tbh
Replace all car roads with trolley tracks, a huge sprawling network of tracks, with streetcars all operated with AI planning. Hell let people buy their own personal trolleys if they want, just don't let them disconnect from the central planning system, get out where you want and the trolley will head to a tracked storage facility to await your next pickup, out of the way of incoming trolleys all perfectly maneuvering around the city
Life purely on the rails
just like my childhood dreams!
Also, batteries on cars are bullshit, see that SUV with a 1000kg of batteries, but a trolley is connected to an ac grid.
Yes. You see the vision
Minority report had it right
