Last week Amazon listed Raleigh-Durham as one of the 20 possible locations for their massive HQ2 expansion, potentially brining in thousands of high paying tech jobs to the area. What's Amazon looking for? Among other things effective large scale public transportation, which at times Raleigh is lacking. To fix this we could try and build traditional railroads and put more busses on the roads, but Consulting firm Dahir Insaat is proposing a new type of vehicle - gyroscopic cars that could drive over traditional traffic jams. Could it work? Would you take one of the self balancing vehicles instead of an old fashioned school bus? |
