QwikLane

The QwikLaneTM Personal Transport System is a private vehicle commuter solution that eliminates traffic congestion and related delay for its users. The infrastructure for this automated transportation system consists of a low cost, light-weight steel guideway (typically elevated above an existing highway). The system permits conforming dual-mode automobiles to operate both on surface streets (in normal mode) as well as on the specially-equipped QwikLane where these vehicles are controlled automatically (without any driver interaction). By maintaining close vehicle spacing and constant speed, the QwikLane allows high vehicle throughput. It will accommodate over five times the capacity of a freeway lane, thereby providing congestion relief along highly trafficked corridors decades into the future. McCrary Personal Transport System, LLC, located in Davenport, California invented the QwikLane system and developed the associated intellectual property related to its design and construction for which five comprehensive patents are issued.

2nd post : Where is the lane for emergency vehicles when that inevitable accident occurs. That automated system that is controlling millions of cars every day may make some mistakes. Plus cars break down, run out of gas, and blow tires. The system may slow down everyone for icy snow but there is bound to be some vehicles that slip when they shouldn't.

I am guessing that the car starts to be automatically controlled as soon as you get on the entrance ramp and that somehow the technology under the road guides you into that 1 to 3 car length free space of the main two lane highway. Otherwise if your relying on the human driver to guide his car into that space then this is never going to work.

Nice idea.

Maybe there could be some kind of wireless electricity system implemented into the lanes for electric vehicles.
