But I might be one of the older programmers still active. I learned my first programming language in the Army in 1961, for a Sylvania Mobidic computer, which I never got a chance to write. But I did write code and wired plug boards for the Univac File Computer while stationed at Governor's Island in New York City. Won't bore you with all the computers I wrote for, but here are some highlights: I have worked in a wide number of software genres, ranging from compilers/interpreters, multi-user operating systems for the PDP8, a Microdata machine, and on top of IBM 360 DOS. Have been writing a lot of hypertext (something I call farView), which I started in the '80s for the PC and DEC.I wrote one of the (only?) music synthesis software programs for the Z80. Sold a couple of copies. But now I am currently employed writing and maintaining software for web front and back ends. Also playing with Unity and A-Frame for fun. I'm 77.

How about a solution that gives us the advantages of trains and cars at the same time?

With trains, every person is at the mercy of the schedule. With cars, every person is at the mercy of the smog and the expense. Is there a way around the trade offs?

I, for one, would love to see this solution(?) get a chance to put up or shut up, but they need to build a test track and noone will give them the money. After reading all the info, they have a convincing case. Is there something missing? I don't see it.
