Any of these pod-based transit systems can benefit from the ability to make up trains and do merges neatly. This could be automated to any extent with electrified roadways. For anything resembling current expressways, we could have a moving LED display along an entrance ramp, showing where a gap will arrive if we maintain the standard acceleration it is moving at. Just pace yourself to the green dots, and not the red ones, and there will be room in the lane you want.
