Comments on ULTra - driverless automatic taxi
The ULTra, an automated, driverless taxi system, offers a small private car (up to four passengers) that goes straight to the destination set by the user. (Read
the complete story)
"how dose the machine perform,how many person's can it contain.how far can it travel.which machine can compite with the speed,as in a car,truck,train.i hope it cause less to maintain."

"These little "cabs" perform well in tests. They average about 40 kilometers an hour, which is at least three times the average speed in the city. They hold four passengers, and use 75% less energy per passenger kilometer than a car."

"Great site!"

"So finally someone is thinking outside the "Mass Transit" box!! This is a wonderful idea that is too long in coming. Hopefully it will do well and spread to other municipalities around the globe."

"I don't think the travel time is very efficient for destinations outside of cities.. It will take so much longer to get there even with traffic jams.. overall, this is a swell idea..inxpensive."

"if the taxi is come automatically then, we can upgrade a taxi. It means we can use a bluetooth of mobile whose used 5 km connection and
this device is in every mobile
to come to each other at anytime."
