I should add the next and obvious part of the HiLoMag system. Imagine yourself going to your garage in the morning on your way to work. You unplug your vehicle from the house current. You get in and select your destination from your GPS display. So far, this is getting to be the standard of how cars are designed today.

However, imagine that a guide cable is stitched into the existing payment of each lane in the local road system. When you open your garage door and back out into the street, you can then place your car on auto-pilot to get to your destination. This would also allow your car to park itself once you were let out at your destination.

One could read the paper on the way, snooze a little more before work or maybe complete some needed paperwork.

And no more speeding tickets, road rage or accidents.

The auto-guide systems have already been tested out for over thirty years, and at speeds up to eighty miles per hour. They are not an issue. One only needs to pick the best fit solution. I happen to like a static system like a guide cable. Less chance of failure, IMHO.

There would be sensors on the guide lines to signal the location of turning lanes, intersections and the like. And of course we would need to tie into the traffic control grid to maximize the movement of vehicles even better than is done now in some cities.

All I can say is that I want that now since all the parts are there to put into place. Many of us are extremely frustrated by the luddite-ism of so many people, especially in positions of leadership.
