You need to think bigger. Once we have separate lanes just for the waymos, we don't need them to be regular roadways. We can scale up the waymo even more and size the lane exactly to the vehicle, maybe even radically redesign the road surface for lower rolling resistance. What a future it will be.
- Traubenfuchs 1y agoBy forming those waymos like aerodynamic bullets, they could reach ridiculously high speeds on those special lanes. Something like 200 mph should be possible. Maybe the waymos could be powered by overhead wires?
- thfuran 1y agoI'm having a hard time even picturing such a thing, but I have no doubt that Waymo could manage to operate them in cities across the nation, with sufficient re-training.
- ripe 1y agoNow, sir, you're in pure fantasy land. Next you'll be asking for columns of them chained together to carry hundreds of people together, stopping at designated locations.
- mlsu 1y agoThis is surely impossible. Such a thing has never been tried, it could never work.
- poemxo 1y agoWe could even install metal rails into the ground to meet this rolling resistence requirement.
