We need the Super Bus in Vegas

The State of Nevada just passed Assembly Bill No. 511 which, among other things, authorizes the Department of Transportation to develop rules and regulations governing the use of driverless cars Forbes

Let's talk stimulus, shall we? The benefit here, at the minimum, is the Vegas Autobot conventions, easily another $50 million in convention business.

Compare Nevada with the Bay Area, Oakland. Today, Nevada can market the SuperBus and move people across a protected lanes for 20 miles at over 100 MPH. An Oakland Airport connector could do nearly the same, grab some lane space on existing roads, pay some cash up front and get out the curbing machine.
