Perhaps we could optimise it further, by having sets of steel paths for the cars to drive on too.

Or we could link them together to make it safer so one doesn't veer off the track, maybe get nicely furnished stations where people can switch over to another set of linked cars to get where they need to go. Imagine the possibilities!
Interesting approach, making the links dynamic could help in last-mile mobility as well.
At that point, we have just reinvented trains. Which is not a bad thing.
If you can sell America on trains, I don’t care what roundabout pathway you have to take to get there, I’m for it. If it’s just self driving cars on a dedicated roadway, fine by me.
