Pitch: self-driving cars but they're on rails and carry hundreds of people and have an operator and they're called "trains" instead.

@annika Nuclear powered trains. Where the power station is stationary and the electricity gets to the train over wires.

Self driving cars that go down the middle of the road on tracks and share the roads with cars and bicycles. Powered by overhead electricity lines. We could call them "Trams".

They don't even need rails.

Imagine something, I call it a trolley bus: a tram, but it's a bus with overhead wires. It has tyres so it goes on the road! No digging up the road required, just a bit of painting.

@wu_lee @annika If we put a big battery in the bus, maybe we wouldn't even need the wires. Just charge the battery at the start and end of each shift and during the driver's coffee/comfort breaks.
