Solar Roadways
The Solar Roadway Panel (TM) is still on the drawing board, but it does promise lots of ambitious features. For instance, it will have smart LED lights to serve as lane markers or spell out messages. It will sense animals on the roadway and warn drivers (deer totally love the idea). It will be heated so as to prevent icing. You can stop and plug your electric car into it if you ever run out of power. And oh so much more.

This is absolutely incredible!…Still I think investing in transit is a better idea, but retrofitting all of our roads to create power would be so perfect!
Click through for a neat gif.

Hey smartercities & adrifting, did you read the whole referenced article? Try again, and take note of all the parts where they detail all the obvious reasons why this idea is not, in fact, absolutely incredible and perfect, but “totally batshit crazy.”
(And look up the word “dubious” while you’re at it.)
