“Our most essential mobility needs can be better met with tools we already have.….If most bus stops were sheltered and equipped—thanks to technology—with digital signs telling bus riders exactly when the next bus will arrive, we wouldn’t have to commit so much research effort and money to developing high-tech systems that can fit more driverless cars in a given road lane.” —Peter Norton, Autonorama #Autonorama #Cars #Transit #Rail #Bus
