Description (Specifications)
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 Road grid technology is extremely reliable, to the point where parent will trust children on unaccompanied trips, and business people can call their empty cars to pick them up at a pre-determined time and place. Normal road grid maintenance is handled by a distance surcharge of about Cr1 per 10 kilometers of travel.
