The first thing that came to my mind was a system like you described to me
once, Pat. I was driving you back to college and you were talking about a
system that could take existing roads (or railroad beds) and have a type of
sensor system along the sides of the roads that could guide the vehicles
safely to their destinations without accidents. It would take control of the
vehicle, instead of having people drive them. See ... you should have
invented that!  :-)
