Indeed! Since off-road use for smart cars is comparatively small, we should optimize the roads to be smart-car friendly. Perhaps we could install systems which would enable smart cars to stay in lanes, perhaps with some hardware preventing the smart cars from going off-road. And while we're there, we could also have systems providing charge built right into the road! Wouldn't that be neat? The lane-keeping and power systems could allow regular cars to operate on the same roads, for backwards compatibility reasons. Sounds too expensive to build? Not until you realize that you've re-invented the infrastructure for trams and trolleys put in place a 100 years ago.
