Bus Rapid Transit, High Speed Rubber and RoboCars

mix well. Both can travel on digitally controlled roads. DeliverBots and TaxiBots may take short cuts using Bus Rapid Lanes. BRT traffic engineers know how to interact with the street bots. We end up with a 60% reduction in transportation fuel, the promise of another 30% reduction later. A twenty year economic boom. Hig Speed Rubber transit also rides on BRT assisted lanes when rumbling into town and Bots can navigate the HSR lanes.BRT, HSR and the Bots optimally mix, internodal exchanges jumping in efficiency.

Small bots spawn super oil efficient local, standardized delivery.
Object vision becomes standard on and off the vehicles.
A new automated, wireless communications industry spawns.
Hybrid technology driven to optimize fuel use.
High Speed Rubber will spawn newer tire technology to reduce rolling resistance.

The total American market for street bots is 500,000 over the next ten years.

The revival of retail.

Efficient fuel use returns $200 per month per household in oil savings, most of which remains local. These fnds revitalize a new retail setor built around very low cost transportation. At a dollar a box for delivery, households are not constrained from operating their own enterprises from bakeries and specialty cooking to re-distribution. Retail strip malls convert to value added re-sellers, buying wholesale, adding valuem, and shipping out the backdoor, loclly at $1 per box in shipping.

A primitive example of the new retail model, discussed by Business Pundit.

Transportation jobs.

Drivers and warehouse workes become inventory engineers and technicians, always applying technology to move toward zero inventory. Central traffic control become the lead information sector job. Pedestrian safety engineering job will be required in transit districts. With orderly licensing of the increasing autonomous, manufacturers can reliably find increasing variations on the technology.

Hire me, if you are an investor. I know the winners and losers, I know which companies get the concept. I can find the best investment vehicles for the coming revolutio.
