If applied correctly this could solved a lot of traffic problem. I still don't understand why cars don't have a retractable bar under them. So you normally drive everywhere, but big roads like highways are in fact rails where your car gets on.
- alttab 16y agoThat idea sounds too simple to be true, but I'd file that under "crazy enough to work"
- moblivu 16y agoThe craziest ideas are the best ;) and what's crazier: a car on rails or a self driving Prius from a search and advertising company ?
- alttab 16y agoAfter looking at google maps/earth, especially street view, I would say they used driving data from that to feed the car driving learning mechanism.
- moblivu 16y agoYeah, you blend your maps data with a bunch of sensors together and you have a self driving car. It's just a matter of speed and the other drivers + knowing where your going.
- sorbus 16y agoPossibly because the necessary switching apparatus would be a nightmare with modern technology, and would have been entirely unworkable even 20 years ago. That said, it's a really good idea, and one which I would like to see attempted - or at least a good explanation of why it would be completely crazy on a technological level.
- laut 16y agoDo you mean something like this? http://www.ruf.dk/ http://www.ruf.dk/ It hasn't caught on. And I don't see the advantages that might be there outweighing the disadvantages.
- tintin 16y agoI can see why cutting a car in half never caught on...
- tintin 16y agoWow! Nice idea. You could even skip the retractable when the rails fits in between your wheels.
