I feel that this one is a rather realistic solution. It uses existing technology (cars), existing infrastructure (streets) and existing data infrastructure (cloud providers) to solve a massive problem. The "only" thing that's missing is the self driving part (the only being in very large quotes of course).
This means its much less of a stretch to get this scenario working than proposals like Hyperloop, Flying Taxis or other things that require a lot more innovation and infrastructure work before they become feasable.
- aniken 4y agoThe “only” thing missing, is to get the best engineers, and pay them double what they normally make. Source: https://youtu.be/DkGMY63FF3Q https://youtu.be/DkGMY63FF3Q
- panick21_ 4y agoHere is an idea. Take 2 lanes of that already existing street. Block them off from cars and make dedicated bike lanes. Then take another 2 lane and make a dedicated bus or tram line. > It uses existing technology (cars) A technology that kills a huge number of people and destroys the environment. > existing infrastructure (streets) Infrastructure that when uses for cars is very expensive to maintain and a safety risk. > existing data infrastructure (cloud providers) This computation not fixed, if you want to use it you have to pay more then somebody else is willing to pay. Its note like an unused road at all. So sure it exists, but its not idle.
