TheUnited Arab Emiratesis planning a caboodle of “ personal speedy transit ” devices : driverless taxis that run on electrical energy and could hit the streets ofMasdaras ahead of time as this class .
Built bySystematica , thePRT systemwill help keep Masdar ( a planned city inAbu Dhabi ) completely car - gratis . The vehicles travel at speed of roughly 7 meters per arcsecond , with the longest routes planned for about 2.5 km , and will be located two stories beneath street level . Riders will pay about the same price they ’d unremarkably drop on an tantamount taxi ride .
Morgantown , West Virginia has the the only PRT organization in place flop now , built in 1975 when the toll of the technology was many times higher . An equivalent system to the Masdar one ( though to a much smaller degree ) is currently under construction at Heathrow airport in London . [ TreehuggerviaDvice ]
