Public transport – it could catch on

‘I think I can improve Sebastian Thrun’s idea of a car in which he can send emails and read the paper while not having to concentrate on driving,’ says Mike Brownsell at GE Energy.
‘If it was large enough, such a vehicle could do a big car-share, perhaps along a pre-agreed course, and could pick up and drop off people en route. Perhaps a snappy Latin name such as omnibus,’ he suggests.
It’ll never catch on. Although on the other hand: ‘I already use such a vehicle – it’s called a train,’ says Richard Tomlinson at Pace Micro Technology.
