This type of information has made me rethink my overly-negative opinion of how the United States has chosen to spend its transportation infrastructure efforts.

This type of information has made me rethink my overly-negative opinion of how the United States has chosen to spend its transportation infrastructure efforts. I've always been under the impression that car-centric designs are grossly inefficient, and used primarily due to culture and profit of the automobile and oil industries, while putting actually transportation efficiency on the back burner. But automated cars could flip the efficiency numbers around. Really excited to see where this technology takes us.
