Regardless of whether the AP could pull it off (I doubt it it too, but the concept is great but seems ludicrously expensive), I would be all for the next governing party to explore how we're going to handle autonomous car lanes on public roads. I think we need to have a "ready-to-go" plan that includes a pilot project and, if successful, iterative rollout.
That said, there are next to zero autonomous cars on Alberta roads right now, so this idea is likely years away still.
Would also like to see a comparison against rail/HSR, costs and benefits. I think improved transportation between Calgary and Edmonton is something a lot of Albertans would be interested in.
