Every time I see another leap forward in technology I always wonder .. where is the one that says "Designed and Built in the USA"

Or Afghanastan, Iraq,Libya etc. The Pentagon has got some great stuff.. I was thinking more in the line of say.. mass transit issues, more efficient individual transportation, heating etc.

I seriously doubt that Americans will give up their love affair with the automoble / truck no matter how cool the mass transportation vehicle is.

I don't think it's a matter of giving up our love affair with the automobile, but rather having choices for at least some of the trips we make each day. Commuting to work in a single-occupant vehicle, for an hour or more each day, with traffic varying from bad to barely moving -- that's a Hell I would not endure. Let me ride a bus or train where I can snooze or read the morning paper, and save on my gas bill (not to mention insurance and maintenance costs). Oh, and parking -- in downtown Seattle, it's $200/month and up.

Forget the fantasy that started this thread -- what commute corridor in the world could possibly accommodate a rubber-tired "bus" going 150 mph???

I don't think we will either... nor should we have to. In South Dakota we are to sparsely populated for mass transit to be a factor. In some metro areas that may be different. I'm just waiting for the youtube video with the 200mph+ 12sec 1/4 mi 100mpg crash-proof American made car/truck! Oh ...under $10,000
