  Why don't we start with an experimental inter-city highway where cars could run with full automation?
This seems perfect for an ICO:

Use an ICO to build an autonomous vehicle-only highway stacked with sensors etc. SF to Oakland for instance. Token value increases as more people use the road. Token has inherent value because it’s the only way to access the road.

What advantage does that give over a more traditional toll road approach? I.e. Raise money, built road, charge toll.

Just a more efficient way of raising money and giving liquidity to the investors that believe in the project early-on. Except, unlike bitcoin the coin has inherent value because it is the only way to access the road.
