Story, Article & Poetry / This U.S. highway might be the first with self-driving lanes
« on: November 15, 2017, 03:59:25 PM »
Self-driving vehicles may get their very own lanes along a stretch of the bustling Interstate 94 in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin transportation officials are considering the futuristic option because the electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn — whose Chinese factory produces up to half a million iPhones a day — confirmed in October that it will build a 20 million square-foot flat-screen factory in Racine County, Wisconsin. This will inevitably bring a ton of commerce-related traffic to the region, so Foxconn asked state officials to consider a self-driving vehicle lane to more efficiently move things to and from the factory.
