I mean, what’s wrong with trolley cars and light rail? There’s your self driving car. I don’t think automated transportation is a technology problem, it’s more a political problem. Nobody wants to put money towards a system that is for use by the common public.
Think about this: trolleys and light rail don’t require batteries, they are more efficient, the maintenance is way lower, they reduce traffic, what’s not to like? And it would be trivial to make them self-driving. But it’s politically unthinkable.
