The car and the road make up one technology. If only we could get the car builders and road builders to work together. Things would be much less complicated.
We know how to do overhead cables. There are some experiments with electrified rails in the road, some wireless charging ideas. You don't even have to install it everywhere, as long as you can easily make it to the next charging system.
What we now have is battery transportation systems.
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>If only we could get the car builders and road builders to work together. So like, public transportation?
- 6510 3y agoIt has it's place but people would rather go without cloths than without car. I mean simple cooperation. Have a screen with some information on it. No need for route planners to reverse engineer road planning. We know where the roads are. I for example don't consider traffic signs ecstatically pleasing. The US has 10 placards for every mile or 40 million. The Netherlands has 22 for each km or 3 million. The picture here is completely normal: https://www.autoweek.nl/autonieuws/artikel/langverwachte-nieuwe-verkeersborden-in-2017/ https://www.autoweek.nl/autonieuws/artikel/langverwachte-nie... I love the second (50) sign in case you've missed the first one. What marvel of engineering! Tax money well spend!
- foxyv 3y agoI'm suddenly getting visions of the Super Mario Bros Movie. Personally I think we need to start transitioning away from cars altogether. Trains and trams all the way baby!

Trains and trams all the way baby! Without the giant battery a car is almost an empty shell, like a people shipping container with windows. Perhaps we ca fit them on rails and link them together like a human centipede.
- wannacboatmovie 3y agoWhile we're at it, why not transportation by pipe and warp zone?
- foxyv 3y agoElon Musk is already working on the pipe part. Climate change is working on the tornados for the warp whistle.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoMaybe transition away from private car ownership. Public transport for 80% of cases, car share for remaining 20%
- foxyv 3y agoI can understand private cars in some circumstances, usually in the middle of nowhere or farms. But definitely not where kids are riding their bikes to school or city centers. We don't have to get rid of them, just stop letting them ruin everything.
