That's sucks. But at least they are trying. Lots of innovation starts with failure

My biggest concern with this has always been the height. It just doesn't seem practical if your average delivery truck is taller than it allows.

There's too much faith put into other drivers for this to work. Human error must have not been thought of, when they engineered this.Let's face it people, we're idiots...

I didn't know we started describing things that run on rails as "buses" now

The heigjt is not the concern, what if your 4 lanes across from your exit but this thing blocks it

i have to say it is creative and i like the idea but realistically speaking there is alot of work still needs to go threw it with the height as well as if it can even clear places that have a bridge yes maybe it will clear a truck if they make it tall enough but what about being a concern for bridges and so on. anyway i like the idea pretty cool its not as bad as having car that drives you i think that is just asking for ur life to be taken .

if in the future everyone rides this we;ll need taller ones

Why don't they just decrease cars?
