I like cars, but we have to face the brutal facts. Cars are unsafe.

Elevators, theme parks, JPods, any private business, would be driven out of business by law suites if they had a safety record as bad as cars.

Government regulators are not innovators and have monopoly control of rights of way. Result, we have had virtually no innovation in general transportation since Henry Ford democratized the car and the Wright Brothers defined how to fly. We have gotten better at doing things but not at things to do.

Without innovation that could profit by preemtping waste, waste has become so massive it is causing Global Warming and Peak Oil, both civilization killers.

Asking local officials for access to rights of way to privately finance solar powered transportation networks we are often told they cannot risk trying something new, so they expand our oil addiction.

Safety requires adapting before catastrophy.

There are safer ways to move people and cargo.

Wuppertal's suspended train has been in operation since 1901. About 1.5 billion passengers and there has been only one fatal accident. Roller Coasters for all their apparent risk are 12,000 safer than cars. Car deatths are about 14 in every 100,000 people. Roller coasters are about 1 in 90 million; and many from intentional bad behavior.JPods combine proven roller coaster mechanics with computer networks to drive out the sources of variations that contribute to accidents.
