Unmanned Taxi System In The UK
from the beating-everyone-else dept
We've spoken before about some different plans for rapid transit systems that all seem to involve individual pods as opposed to mass transit systems. The systems we spoke about in the past also involved cars that would get off the track and become ordinary street cars as well - so you could have the best of both worlds. Of course, those were all theoretical. Some folks in the UK are working on an actual mass transit system using unmanned pods that will take you where you want to go. They have to run on preset tracks, however, so they're not as advanced as those other systems.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
