    The document proposes a robotic highway system to address issues with the current U.S. highway system such as traffic fatalities, delays, and pollution. It describes current problems including over 35,000 annual fatalities and 43 hours spent in delays. The proposed solution involves placing passenger cars in pods that would travel at over 100 mph on highways, and allow passengers to connect their "blocks" or personal spaces to the pods. This robotic highway system could help reduce fatalities, time spent in traffic, and pollution from the current system.

    The Problem(s)

    United States Highways


    Over 35k U.S. highway fatalities in 2008
    43 hours in delays
    Pollution
    Can’t read books
    Importance

    35K deaths is an atrocity


    I don’t want to spend more than a day in my car
    Pollution stinks!
    I like to read
    Current Robots

    Not really
    Use monitoring to designate speed zones
    Isaiah’s Plan!

    Cars get put in pods


    These pods then go on the highway at 100mph+
    People can hook up there “block” to pod
    Auto exit
