Just one day after state officials approved massive robotaxi expansion in San Francisco, a long line of the driverless cars come to a standstill and clog traffic in North Beach neighborhood.

Here's an idea, instead of individual cars, we could combine them into a few cars pulled 1 big car. And given they pretty much go to the same place, we could put them on some sort of tracks to reduce rubber wear, like steel wheels. We could even make it stop at a couple of useful places along the way... Wait.

That sounds too complicated, why don't we just run cables under all the roads and have the cars grab the cables through the road?

Still too complicated. You would need to dig up the street for that. What about flying cables grabbing the cars individually?

I can't make up my mind. What if we do all those things, plus a dozen more different things, in the same city?
