If only they had a solution that has been tried and been proven to be effective...
Maybe we could hook a bunch of cars together, especially if they're going the same direction anyway, even put some kind of tugging device at the front of the line of cars so they could save gas on the way to wherever they're going, but I'm pretty sure this doesn't exist yet...
Make sure the tugging device is called a group leader for the cars acting as "pods".
But given how cars steer, we'll need some kind of automatic guidance system to keep them in line. Maybe with AI?
Lmfao, hear me out. Cones on the bottom, but guess what, we don't even need the whole godamn cone, we can cut the tips off to save on materials.
2020 proved it out for many US jobs these days. Nobody doing a desk job goes into the office anymore. Remaining road traffic is people that have physical jobs. Desk people are plugging up the road, because their employers would rather see a body in an expensive office chair than the effective reality they already had proved out by force.
But yeah, also public transport would sure be nice.
More lanes! Start stacking the lanes! Cars with expandable suspension to pass from above! They have so many options.
