after having to build a massive network of high powered sturdy electric cables to every major road in the entire country

There is a reason it is being tested

Not a problem for Autobahn

thats a single highway

if you just wanted to ship goods in a straight line youd be better off with a train

Trains need to navigate a grid

i also think that without dedicated lanes your truckes wont do so well

They take very significant detours to avoid passenger train traffic and other trains

It is not always optimal

only because they operate on a preexisting train network

Yes

build a new railline and boom no problems

You use trains to move big amounts between hubs

Roads do not have that limit

From hubs you use trucks to distribute to medium sized warehouse

but the autobahn does

And then local deliveries

And Autobahns are not rare in Germany

It can work here

if you are only operating on the autobahn all you are doing is moving between major hubs

Solar Powered Auto Drones. No Carbon footprint. Though delievery could be iffy

@Grampy_Jim terrible idea

that would result in so many stolen packages it wouldnt be funy

@svarozhyc these wire trucks though eliminate one of the transitional delivery step

Stolen drones.

That's what I'm thinking ye

@Lucienne d'Anwyl Uganda tho

uganda cant even afford drones lol

There were neat self driving trucks in Vurt books

They were tanks that just had a route and it was your business not to be in their way coz they didn't give a shit

Observe

How did those stores in Canada without cashiers work out, anyone know?

They actually went fine

@Uksio ugandans cant afford guns to shoot down the drones and steal the medicine

sling shot

What makes you think europeans would?

Are they still open tho?

they probably only went fine because there werent any nigs there

stones

Eastern Europe may do that
