Moving a ton of goods through the LA basin and trans shipping it to destination? $50 to $150 per shipment. The digital convoy, guided roadway recovers about half that cost. The capital equipment are fenced off lanes, one or two way (convoys use either).
The other set of capital equipment is a booklet on how bots should follow the white line and avoid running over scofflaw biobots who jump fence. From then on, let the vehicle design geeks go wild, the company just gets as much 'laneway' as it can, one to two way. For cost comparisons, compare a lane purchase price to the cost of a bore hole, or the cost of elevated lane. Do deals with local G to use median strips when possible, with cross bars at intersections. Everything rubber wheel on asphalt. Add central traffic management via remote sensor and communicate, communicate, communicate between the bots.
The great equalizer, rich, poor; private, public. Your ability to get from A to B is the same, a ten dollar bot code.
