My proposal is a reliable, safe and efficient alternative to a car and a freight delivery truck that can really reduce traffic accidents and save lives. No Google self-driving car can accomplish that as long as we rely on cars moving on roads. Same thing if we want to reduce oil dependence yet still rely on cars moving on roads.

The advantages and benefits of the proposed transportation system are:

1-Is easy to build, setup and operate as a fully automated transportation system using conventional automation methods and equipment. 2-Is a reliable, safe and efficient alternative to a car and a freight delivery truck that can really reduce traffic accidents and save lives. 3-Allows people to go anywhere the tracks will take them using their own fully automated vehicle no one has to drive. 4-Allows delivery of all sorts of goods and merchandise anywhere along the tracks using vehicles no one has to drive. 5-Can transport a single passenger more efficiently than a car does as the passengers modules can be shaped ergonomically to transport only one passenger. 6-Can transport freight more efficiently than a delivery truck does as the freight modules and detachable cargo containers can be shaped in any form and size. 7-Requires less land than streets, highways and freeways when implemented reducing land encroachment. 8-Adapts easily to the existing urban outline. 9-Contributes less environmental pollution than cars and trucks do. 10-May help reduce oil dependence as the vehicles move using electric motors. 11-Allows children, older people and people with disabilities to provide their own personal transportation since no driving skills are needed to operate such vehicles. 12-Allows passengers to carry out other activities while they go from one place to another since there’s no need to drive such vehicles. 13-Allows vehicles to travel over flooded areas and obstacles including cars and pedestrians. 14-Allows vehicles to travel inside a building and into an office space or a living space several stories above the ground. 15-Allows vehicles to travel from one building to another at any height from the ground. 16-Enables a more comfortable ride for passengers than a car does in curved and inclined path stretches as the hanger used to suspend the passengers module from the propulsion dolly allows the module to swing out in curved track sections so as to diffuse the centrifugal force and to remain in a horizontal position when the dolly traverses inclined track sections. 17-Have the least moving parts subject to wear and tear when compared to other transportation systems proposals and most components are easily accessible for proper maintenance and repairs.

With the implementation of my transportation system proposal a dad or a mom will be able to place their kids in a fully automated/autonomous vehicle that will take them to school and that same vehicle can come back to take dad to work. At work he can send the vehicle back home so that his wife can use it. At the shopping mall she can send the vehicle to a specialized parking facility for such vehicles and she will later be able to recall it with her cell phone. Back home she will have the groceries she purchased on the Internet delivered to her from her favorite supermarket. Later that day grandma can send them a piece of pie she baked without ever having to leave her house. A day of our lives in the near future! Of course you can substitute the passengers as it fits to any particular situation!
