Don't you just love crap like this?  Just think, you can zip around the
countryside at 350 MPH, and cruise through town at 60 MPH.  YOu have your
own isolated independence, and all kinds of other nonsense in the
proposal.

So, what about pedestrians?  What about people with disabilities?  What
about the fiendishly complex technologies that will always need to work
perfectly every time to keep this proposed system safe, especially if you
eliminate safety systems in the individual vehicles, themselves?  What
about individual driver training and responsibility?  Do they really think
this system can be so perfect that they won't even need to think about any
kind of manual overrides?  Anybody ever hear of the Titanic?

Wouldn't you just like to have enough money to be able to pay for even a
fraction of one percent of the electricity needed to run this monster?
And just think!  The guys proposing this nonsense can finally get rid of
the entire pedestrian problem once and for all, since there's no mention
whatsoever about anybody going anywhere not riding in one of these
wonderful electrically guided and driven contraptions!
