It's actually a really good idea. I think the best way to electrify the roads would be via overhead cables that the cars could connect to. Then, to further optimize things, we could combine cars together into one really long car. We could call this thing a "bus", give it a planned route with a bunch of stops for people to get on/off, and move a whole bunch of people that way.

But since everything's moving in a predictable path, we may as well replace the wheels with rails. We could even go crazy sci-fi and build a series of underground tunnels to get them out of everyone's way and make things a lot faster and safer. Let me know what you think of such a system. I think we should call it the Hyperbus.

Save half the money - if you can do it with 2 rails, you can do it with a single rail. Both rails go to the same place anyway.

I think we'll call it: The OneRail.

No shit. I have to swerve worse than a drunk person just to not blow a tire or bounce my vehicle sideways. Shame when our gravel roads are in better shape
