Dualmode Will Fix or Reduce Many Problems by
| 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 |
| Our petroleum deposits are nearly gone | Clean electricity will be used. |
| We keep adding more lanes of concrete | A single lane of guideway (with cars, transit, and freight). |
| Automobile and airplane noise pollution | Electric motors are quiet, and airplanes will be fewer |
| Our highways often grind to a halt | Most highway traffic will move to the guideways |
| The streets are jammed and parking is difficult | Cars will be automatically parked directly from the guideways |
| 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 (unlimited range) |
| Road rage, drinking, 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-highway pileups | Linear motors in the guideways 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 for only short trips on the streets. |
