The AutoMate vision, as I presented it in Stockholm on PCC5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv1IA20nzMwThe AutoMate System™ is a conceptual breakthrough: a transportation system that combines the benefits of mass transportation with the convenience and privacy of your own car.Door-to-door travel time is reduced by 50% (80% during rush hours). This makes the Automate System™ the most efficient commute system ever designed. Automate System™ is a green system thanks to the energy efficient design. Compared to using a private car, Automate System™ requires 50% less energy (!) to reach the same destination.The AutoMate System™ is designed to use existing infrastructure with moderate modification, thus dramatically reducing the initial investment in new infrastructure.Annual user expenses are lower or equal to the expense of driving your own car. The advantages of the AutoMate System™ make it the ultimate "Work Transportation Solution" !So how does it work ?In brief, the idea is to maximize benefits for both the passenger and the environment: shortest travel time, privacy, low cost and high energy efficiency. This is achieved by applying high-end technology to automate traveling. Each segment of the route is optimized to obtain the ultimate commute system: o Efficient "last mile" solution.o Central control to increase highway capacity by a factor of 10 while dramatically reducing accidents.o Door-to-door privacy.
