bedtime? what's a bedtime? a.k.a. PODCARS RULE!!
I want one!
City hopes to shuttle people in futuristic 'podcars'The thought of a driverless, computer-guided car transporting people where they want to go on demand is a futuristic notion to some.
To Jacob Roberts, podcars -- or PRTs, for personal rapid transit -- represent an important component in the here-and-now of transportation.
"It's time we design cities for the human, not for the automobile," said Roberts, president of Connect Ithaca, a group of planning and building professionals, activists and students committed to making this upstate New York college town the first podcar community in the United States.
"In the podcar ... it creates the perfect blend between the privacy and autonomy of the automobile with the public transportation aspect and, of course, it uses clean energy," Roberts said.
In other news, battery acid burns hurt like hell. My own damn fault, so I can't whine too much. Its the fingertip of my left middle finger. Makes typing a little interesting. (I was cleaning my room. There was a corroded battery. Stupidity ensued and a failure to bring baking soda into play until too late.)
