I would buy 10 miles of I-15, just outside of Vegas, then have mass mover trials. Which manufacturer can move 200 people, 10 miles at 140 MPH. Offer a $5 million dollar first place prize.
Project construction costs are 10 miles of curbing, to keep out human drivers. At most, 12 feet of lane space is all that is needed. DOT of both states could set it up and make a profit on media rights to the trials. With the gasoline shortage, we should have underutilized lane space. Look at the people boom in Vegas for the week of the trials.
This is what moves Nevada, mainly Vegas and Reno. The idea of being the Jetson playground, and getting mass transportation much faster and cheaper. LA is a huge market, and the autobots can suddenly shorten the transaction time between LA and Vegas, a dream come true. For California, it is a big boost to the value of desert sprawl, adding price to all the desert housing developments when very high speed people movers cruise around.
