My other idea was autonomous ground robots that shuffle planes around, but then that would double the amount of driving traffic on the taxiway. It would eliminate accidents caused by encroaching on a runway in use though, and since it's automated, tighter time and spacing tolerances can be maintained.

Wait 'til a low-time student pilot lands on top of you during takeoff!
That happened to the Cherokee my brother flew out of Van Nuys Airport,California.He wasn't in the plane at the time,but it was the end of it,chewed rear-to-forward.Nut behind the yoke!
