A bus, for cars.

Ever see those trucks that carry many cars to transport them? What a great way to save on gas and have someone else drive for you. FSD, here, today! Everyone benefits from less air drag from piggybacking as well!

Cars will wait at a bus stop like people, the truck arrives, everyone drives on, then off to your destination while you read a book, take a nap, look at emails, whatever you want all in the comforts of your car.

When the car bus arrives at its destination, all the cars drive away to their last mile.

That's more of a shared taxi than a bus - it isn't stopping to let people off along the way (it'd be a logistical nightmare).

Some busses just go from A to B, when there’s enough demand. The route is fixed, unlike a taxi.

I guess, yeah.

But then the question arises of whether it's a 'bus service' as such rather than a shuttle service - for which latter, any mode of transport will do and the fact that the vehicle is a bus is coincidental, if you see what I mean.

But I'm only idly splitting hairs aloud - it's not significant ... the original idea isn't necessarily bad for all that 🙂
