As cool as that is, I wouldn't entirely trust...electronic roads. o_O I mean, if something goes wrong and we somehow lose electricity and can't get them into our cars...then the cars won't run. Or they're going to take advantage of this and, like, use it to monitor TO THE SECOND how long people are parked, and be able to charge them stupid amounts for being there three seconds over the allowed amount of time that they should be parked. Or monitor speeds so if someone goes a kilometre over the speed limit, they'll get fined a billion dollars. Or if someone drops a friend off and stays there for five seconds, the panels can detect that and charge them for it. I BET GOVERNMENTS WILL FIND A WAY. It seems like another way to monitor us. O_o

All the other positive stuff is great, but I think that you can't have something like this without higher-ups taking advantage of it in other ways to scam money off drivers and limit our privacy/freedom even more. -_- CALL ME A CONSPIRACY THEORIST.

Electronic roads? *doesn't bother to read what they actually are so instead visions virtua vehicles on elctroads taking us to websites*

I gotta get me some of that.

Electronic roads sound terrifying, wouldn't they need power constantly going through them? Surely that'd be a danger to pedestrians? No one in my house drives so I'm more concerned about that than anything!

For those of you who can't be bothered watching the video, the roads themselves arent electric per say. More that the roads would be replaced with solar panels to generate electricity. They would also contain LEDs for street marking, speed limits, animals on the road etc.

Personally I think it is a brilliant idea, as the amount of electricity it would generate would be huge. However to get them installed would cost a lot. Even if they sell off the electricity and make that money back, it would still be too expensive. Personally I think that if they were to do this, start off with dirt roads that havent been developed yet. It would save money as opposed to tearing up the road and putting them down. Then wait a little while until enough electricity has been sold to pay it off and pay for it to expand.

Well this is awkward....


This is probably the shortest post I've ever made in my life... What has happened to the Universe.

Yeah... That's really awkward. Like, really. Plus, alot of bad things will happen to the Universe with the oncoming onslaught of the next generation-- Jerks, incredibly young parents, those stupid words, like YOLO and swag. Please don't pester me for saying this, and be like "but ur a part of that generation too" I'm not sure some adults actually understand that some kids today are still decent. :I

Eh, I wouldn't worry about our generation. Every generation had it's jerks and morons, and the world didn't end.

On another note, I can't believe it's already Summer. Feels like we just started Spring.

[Sonic20]
