Is this a good idea to help economy and environment?
Ok one night i couldn't sleep and started getting all these genius ideas: Alright now we have trains that are able to change rails right? So why don't we add some kind of rail or pull system like the ones used in carwashes that pull your car. We can put them on freeways on each lane with the capability to change lanes the whole system is controlled by a computer i mean if we are able to create navigation systems that can re-route you i'm pretty sure we can create some kind of program that will pull cars to destinations and make them change lanes and make sure they don't crash each other and since this is all controlled by a computer there is no chance of human error so cars can be pulled at high speeds and how about all these pull systems will be solar powered. And there will be this huge command center like the one used for the New York subways, you know those huge monitors were smart people control which train goes where. Except this command center will be for the freeways just incase a helicopter lands on the freeway or if there's a police chase they can stop all cars and move them to the left lane. The freeway entrances will have a booth where you type in the address you want to go to on a little computer the system will then find what exit you will need to get off on and tell you the price, the price will be determined by how much your car weighs let's say you have a honda civic it will charge you 5 cents per mile THATS CHEAPER THAN GAS you hit the ok button put your car in neutral and your car will be on it's way! Once the system has got you to the exit you put your car in drive and continue from there. Now think about it does california charge to use the freeway? No so who gets all the money from you going on the freeway? The money goes into the pockets of countries such as saudi arabia where we buy oil from Gasoline is needed to power your car on the freeway of course! Now what if we can switch this so that the money will go into the pocket of California. This system will not waste gas at all you just put your car in neutral and the pull system will pull your vehicle. Take a second and think about it? There are 3 million people in California I'm pretty sure about 2 million californians use freeways a day. Let's say everyday 2 million californians drive 40 miles on the freeway a day so if we had this pull system and california charged 5 cents per mile each californian will pay $2.00 a day now 2x2 million=$4 million dollars a day! A DAY! Great right? California will be making money! Californians will save money because they won't have to use as much gas and the fees to go on the freeway are half as much they would have payed by driving on the freeway? And this will help the environment! Also this will save people time since they will be going faster on the freeway! Oh and if there is an emergency say somebody in your car has a stroke there will be an emergency number to call they will track your car and pull your car to the nearest exit that is close to a hospital. then we spread this technology all around the United states and we will get out of this recession so... what do you think?

I think the system would cost more to build and maintain that the fees it would generate. a million dollars a day is not that much. You are under estimating cost to build, and you would still need to pay for the energy to run the system.
