Roads that:
- Self-repair via drones / automation
- Self-fix weather conditions like flooding (pumps in locations where flooding is likely?), or ice (lasers that heat melt it, drones that drop salt/sand, self-driving plow or drones that plow and sand, heated roads with deep drains or that slant on either side with a nice drop off for excess fluid to drain.
- Mapping/tracking of EVERY object on the road ..if a deer crosses the highway in Wyoming all cars within a mile are aware of it.
- All cars around you know your speed and can adjust.
- Your license/speed/etc are all known by the grid at all times.
- Break a law no police will pull you over, you'll just be fined. However, speeds can be adjusted or removed in places on highways while in self-driving mode, the car will never go faster than is safe in an area/weather but can drive faster and cars could "link up" i.e. drive exact same speed and move like a "train" to increase aerodynamics.
- You'd be able to drive yourself, but speed limits/etc would still be tracked and dangerous driving would be finable.
Some of these have many ethical / dystopian concerns... frankly the "authorities" always knowing our location/speed, but on the other hand less police stops means less likelihood people are killed for being black/minority... it's a catch 22 on liberty vs equality.
I mean if you haven't recently robbed a bank or something I think there's no problem and it's not like there's not traffic cams everywhere where we're already tracked by, at least this way you can take a road trip and snooze through all the "Dad are we there yet?" complaints lol.
