A self driving shuttle that needs its own dedicated lane with special markers painted, therefore following a predetermined route.

Just use a fucking train.

    Oh my god, literally, the first thing you see after they say "this could be the future of transportation" is a car going significantly faster than the bus in the background. Whats the fucking point, if its slower than cars? Also, look how short it is! Its like a half-bus.

    Also, its worth noting, the California High Speed Rail project is going to get a major boost once Biden starts. Between him loving trains, the stimulus for COVID relief, and green infrastructure spending that everyone is hoping for, the project which started during Obama, and had its funding pulled out by Trump, is surely going to get back on track.
