    The possibilities really are endless.

    When the light turns green the entire row of cars can start moving at the same time like on motor sports. Perhaps you don’t even need traffic lights because they can all just drive to the intersection at the same time and just keep barely missing eachother but never crash due to the superior reaction times and processing speeds of computer. You could also let your car go taxi other people around when you don’t need it.

      I think you might need lights for pedestrians at crossings.

      I did wonder if ambulances would need sirens but again, pedestrians!

            Even better!

            Which way shall we choose

            • substitute pedestrians by autonomous bipedal robots?
            • develop autonomous exoskeletons which have to be used by pedestrians?
            • Or aim high and develope injectable nano-sized neuro implants that take care of the autonomization of pedestrians?
            • other options?

            🤔difficult choice.

      What if we tied that entire row of cars together as one unit so we could save cost on putting high end computers in each car? Give them their own dedicated lane because we will never have 100% fully autonomous cars on the road unless we make human drivers illegal.

      I’ll call my invention a train.
