“QwikLane is a transportation system using compact automobiles equipped with special automatic controls to expedite commuter traffic flow (by holding constant high speed with close spacing) on a low-cost, prefabricated, light-weight, elevated steel guideway; these automobiles retain manual operation for street driving. The system can accommodate more than seven times the peak traffic of a freeway lane at a fraction of the cost of construction.
The utility of the automobile and the highway system is threatened by congestion along the urban freeways where land to expand is scarce and construction too costly.
