JPods
JPods are a method of personal transportation that use distributed collaborative computer networks to route transit in a manner similar to the data trafficking of the Internet. Developed by JPods, Inc. as a form of personal rapid transit, ultra-light pods have an on-board computer that controls their motion.
Personal rapid transit was defined in Congressional Office of Technology Assessment Study PB-244854 as the solution for urban transport in response to the 1973 Oil Embargo. Morgantown, West Virginia installed a PRT system that has delivered 110 million oil-free, injury-free passenger miles, but where huge budget overruns crippled interest in PRT for several decades.
