Murrieta/Temecula to get High Speed Rail Station

[XBoxBoy]

Seems to me, a better and more universal solution would be for the money to be spent developing self driving cars. The benefits of such a system would be huge.

1) The number of cars (and thus people) that could travel on the same road would probably double or triple, since self driven cars wouldn’t cut each other off, or drive slow while talking on the cell phone.

2) Time spent in the car could become productive. Rather than “driving” you could safely do a whole variety of things.

3) The number of people who die annually on our roads is something like 50k, and the number injured is significantly higher. Self driven cars should have no collisions. The savings from this would be huge. (Not only lives saved, but think of the money not spent on auto insurance, and ambulance chasers)

To me it’s a shame that when the govt talks about stimulus, they don’t have the vision or leadership to propose something like self driven cars. Hey, if we can put a man on the moon, we can design a system of self driven cars.

Once you get above 3 floors, it starts to get real expensive per sqf from my understanding. then there is parking, but maybe that would be where car share comes in.

I would add that at first the metro link in L.A. had low ridership but it is nearly always at full capacity now days, some times when they shut the freeway or it snows, they have to turn people away.

You are an optimist.. think blue screen of death. How about ‘runaway Toyota’s too. Its not supposed to happen, but still does. It needs to be realized that following distances will be decreased and speeds increased for cars that are ‘auto-piloted’ because the perception of increased safety.

I would also add that on the other coast (East), their trains have high ridership numbers for most suburbs connected to the bigger cities, so I don’t buy that everyone needs to live in the city.

Also look at Japan, their High speed rail is always packed as well.

I work with customers in Japan and they are always telling me they need to leave to catch the high speed rail to their town (usually about 100 miles or so outside Tokyo)
