    Yeah, I know it’s basically reinventing trains, but it would be a great inbetween solution to have trucks stay in a dedicated lane in a semi-automatic mode on long stretches, while they can service the last few kms without having to transfer the load.

      If you call them PanoPods you can probably get venture capital funding and then just go buy a train and paint it with a cool design.
