No one would ever accuse Tyler Ley of lacking creativity. In the past, that creativity has mostly been dedicated to the concrete world. But now he has turned his brilliance on the entire U.S. transportation system.

His argument is that putting heavy trucks onto their own dedicated roadways, making them autonomous, and turning them electric could change everything. Currently we design all of our roads and bridges for vehicles that can weigh significantly more than a passenger vehicle. That’s a waste of money and more than 4000 people die each year from accidents involving trucks.

A radical change, the Autonomous Truck Corridor (ATC), could be the answer. Ley points out that this could make deliveries faster and more reliable, lead to longer lasting roads, reduce traffic, improve safety, and reduce greenhouse gases. And he even has a scheme to pay for all this through roadway usage fees on trucking.

Watch his video here and his logic might make you feel this idea is not actually crazy but realistic and right.
