Dualmode Will Fix or Reduce Many Problems
The Problem | The Dualmode Solution |
Internal combustion engines cause major pollution | Internal combustion engines won't be used |
Airplanes are also serious polluters | Domestic air traffic will be greatly reduced |
Petroleum deposits are disappearing | Clean electricity will be used instead |
We keep adding more lanes of concrete | A single lane of guideway will accommodate cars, transit and freight |
Automobiles and airplanes are noisy | Electric motors are quite, airplanes will be fewer |
Our highways are much too congested | Most highway traffic will move to the guideways |
The streets are jammed and parking is difficult | Cars will be automatically parked directly from the guideway |
Traveling wastes a lot of time | Guideway travel will be much faster, and with no traffic jams |
Sometimes we can't find a service station | No fuel will be used on the guideways |
Road rage, drunk drivers, and teen drivers are major problems | Humans won't be driving on the guideways |
Fog, sun glare and darkness make driving dangerous | The automatic system will always "see" perfectly |
Snow, ice, and rain cause slick highways | Linear motors in the guideway won't need wheel traction |
Stoplights and lane changes cause accidents | No stoplights or lane changing on the guideways |
Battery cars have short range and low power | Batteries will be used only for short trips on the streets |
