Why don't we have automated roads instead. Containers running in scheduled slots.

I think this would be a great way to bring some automation to some roads.

Tesla/Boring almost did it when they were considering having electric sleds moving cars through Boring tunnels.

If there's a schedule, pre-planned route, and a fenced off road, there's barely any need for fancy sensor suites & AI. The most difficult part of it is probably that the road then couldn't be used by all types of vehicles.
