Years ago, when I was known to imbibe a time or two, I piloted a driverless car. Sometimes wondering how the hell it got parked in the driveway. Or maybe it was living an hour from my workplace and working 12 to 14 hour shifts and leaving work and suddenly being home. With no clue how I got there. Either case is spooky in retrospect.

guided by signals from electronic wiring buried in the highway

No way that would fly around here.

TXDOT is a work program - they get a road done, they start at the beginning tearing it up again.

The guide wires would be a continuous state of broken.

Wonder if Mr. Hancock was also the one who dreamed up the traffic roundabouts/traffic circles?

I hate it when they go under the couch.

It wouldn’t work at all in Oklahoma.

First, the roads are in such terrible condition there is a permanent state-wide speed bump encountered upon crossing the state line from any adjacent state into Oklahoma.

Second, the loops in the highway would quickly be cut by potholes and then covered with globs of hot-mix-cold-lay asphalt heaped at least 4” above the adjacent pavement.

Oklahoma DOT seems to be a model of inefficiency and waste with limitless excuses usually centering around lack of money.

Lack of money seems to be the favorite excuse for anything in government but especially here In Oklahoma.
