Reply to comment by HumanSeeing in Big Googly Eyes Could Make Autonomous Cars Safer For Pedestrians by greenappletree

It would be perfect to take these cars and have them communicate with each other in such a way that they can perfectly sync with each other and make identical, pre-planned moves through traffic, lined up one after the other. We could even put them underground so they don't have to wait for traffic lights. If we did something like that, no one would even need to OWN a car because they could just roam around the city in perfect sync autonomously all the time. We could sell tickets to ride them and have underground stations where you would board and leave them. Man the future could be so bright!

and the people living in the countryside can just teleport to the cities and their stations. How perfect would that be!? /s

mabey try not to be so condescending while you try to win people over with your arguments? Acting like the subway magicaly resolves all our traffic problems...

And since rubber on asphalt is terribly inefficient, we could swap out the tires with steel wheels and road surface with steels rails that would also help guide this series of interconnected cars.
