Episode notes
Traffic and Rail Transit Challenges
- Traffic congestion crushes urban mobility and undermines economic growth.
- Current rail systems solve volume but are big, costly, and have poor user experience.
Autonomous Cars vs Infrastructure Limits
- Autonomous vehicles won't solve congestion because infrastructure bottlenecks remain.
- Road capacity limits are physical, unrelated to who controls the vehicle.
Small Vehicle Pod Systems
- Small, autonomous vehicles on exclusive lanes can increase capacity and reduce cost.
- This allows private, on-demand, point-to-point service with less infrastructure footprint.
