Years ago, there was a clip regarding how vehicles could easily follow a set of imbedded metal "dots" in the road...........similar to "Bots dots" on the West Coast. No steering required.
The current technology easily adapts a vehicle to maintain a fixed following distance to the vehicle ahead.
Combine the two............think of the benefits...........phenomenal.
All of the traffic jams that currently exist are eliminated. Traffic jams are the result of DB's who hit the brakes..........not the result of "too many cars on the road". Eliminate the DB...........eliminate the problem.
Phenomenal.
All this available technology............nobody to implement it.
