Admittedly, I haven't read all the posts. I hope this hasn't been mentioned yet: A national transportation systems that allows you to drive your vehicle onto it and the system would take over and guide you to your destination. Allowing you to sit back and enjoy the scenery and the company of your fellow passagers. Sorta on the same prenciple as disney's people mover. You'd be moved along using electrical magnetic power. Then when you arrived at your destination, you just drive off in your fully charged (by then) vehicle.
