I imagine the turning radius for this thing is significant enough that you'd have to tear out existing intersections and even push the buildings back from where they exist now.

Just so it can turn. I think in this specific comparison elevated light rail would be significantly less-disruptive and cheaper too.

They just need to install a giant turntable at every intersection!

It would be better if they installed two turntables and a microphone.
