For what it's worth, if a private company held a monopoly on the roads in this country I would bet dollars to donuts that we'd have flying cars by now.

- fingerlocks 8y agoI think about this often. I imagine self-driving cars built on 30 year old tech in which the road drives the car via curbside sensors (much easier problem to solve). I daydream about service reps walking through bumper-to-bumper traffic handing out coupons and apologizing for the unexpected delays. Pay to drive the premium roads when you’re in a rush, or take the discount lanes with advertising printed along the roadway. We could have quiet, porous asphalt with better water absorbtion. So many fantasies, I digress.
