    Imagine a vehicle that’s fully autonomous, always connected to power, and can carry more than 4-6 people at a time.

    You could allocate lanes specifically for it, too, so it could go super-fast.

    We wouldn’t need nearly as much parking, so you could push things closer together and be able to walk to places, and have parks…

    Man, that’d be cool. I bet if it ever becomes possible, America will be the first to do it at scale. It would be such a technological and societal advantage, we’d be dumb to not use it to its fullest potential.

    Edit:

    If only it existed! We could call it a RAIN, for how it cascades people upon a location like rainfall. Or maybe to clarify that it’s for transportation… a T-RAIN? Man, if only… /s
