But why? What feature does this offer that is worth the thousands of percentage points more cost than a plain asphalt highway? The signage is presented in a cooler way? The road is smoother? It's not like this is more environmentally friendly. I guess with LED's you can change traffic patterns with the click of a mouse.
Yeah new technologies are expensive when you make full quantum leaps forward like this. But the way new technologies are effectively introduced is by sprinkling in economical bits little by little. Kind of like how mobile phones are done. Twenty years ago Apple knew exactly the kind of phone they WANTED to release, but the technology was either costly or unavailable. Instead, they release a new version with every generation and in each case they come closer and closer to their ideal vision of what an iPhone should be.
