Autonomous Car Alternative: Arrivo's "City Zipper" Car-Carrying Sleds
I'm struggling to get my head around how it is possible to move all the vehicles that take up 4 lanes on a normal motorway onto 1 high-speed lane and it reduce congestion? Would love to see itvisualised
I can totally buy into this as a concept for mid to long distance travel, where it would kick the ass of an 'optimally flowing' freeway in terms of speed, efficiency, and convenience, but sadly it doesn't convince me as an cure for chronic congestion on roads that are already overwhelmed - surely bottlenecks on and off at the hubs would be unavoidable?
If only there were some type of futuristic technology, that would allow commuters to collectively move from one point to another en masse... What if this form of transit could be funded publicly without lining the pockets of out-of-touch billionaires? We could call it "public transit!!"
