See the answer is to remove the edge cases. We make a special road for only self driving cars. No human traffic lights, no pedestrians, just flawless roads. While we’re at it let’s make a special road that the cars couldn’t fall off of if they tried. That will make lane keeping trivial so the cars just need to go straight. We can even make the special road steer for them. Actually since they’re all going the same way we can tie them all together so we only need one engine and can save money hehehe. We’ll make self driving so easy bro.
i am aware of the sarcasm and i support trains, but they do suffer from the ‘last mile’ issue. I cannot easily make to the nearest metro station without driving there. I commute on the DC beltway - its a horrific superhighway that goes to like 5 lanes on either side at some points. I have daydreamed about a kind of track in the center line where cars could drive on to a ‘rail’ and somehow get off the rail at the right point. I dont know how the tech would work (clearly) but something where personal vehicles can linkup on a shared rail line could be interesting.
