Roadgrid System

The remote vehicle operating system on Sylea is called Roadgrid, but similar concepts may occur on other worlds. Computer controlled remote vehicle operation is possible at TL-6, sophisticated enough to be used at TL-8 and practical on a large scale at TL-10. The basic equipment interfaces with most vehicle control systems if installed during manufacture, though retrofitting existing vehicles is difficult. It allows a central traffic computer to monitor all vehicle vital signs, navigate the vehicle, and communicate with the crew or passengers. All the passenger has to do is request a destination, and the computer will do the rest. By TL-12, Sylean Roadgrid technology is extremely reliable, to the point where parent will trust childern on unaccompanied trips, and business people can call their empty cars to pick them up at a pre-determined time and place. Normal roadgrid maintenance is handled by a distance surchage that come out to around Cr1 per 10 kilometers of travel.
