abstract="Transportation planners have long dreamed of an automated highway in which an automatic, intelligent guidance system would allow cars to travel quickly in a tight formation, improving highway safety and reducing traffic congestion. This article discusses some of the progress that has been made to making the automated highway a reality, as well as some of the challenges to such a project. Although proponents of the automated highway envision that the concept could solve transportation problems within a 2030 to 2060 timeframe, others believe that the technical and institutional challenges make it unlikely that an automated system would be viable even in the distant future. A look at how technology may realistically improve transportation by the year 2050 is provided.<p />",
