Wow! That is an amazing solution. I wonder how long before its a reality out in LA, the 91 fwy could really use it!

I like the concept

Having seen the QA program I would not purchase anything from China that was designed there.

Yeah.... what happens when it comes up on some douche-bag in a work van with a ladder rack that sits a foot taller than the bus?? Or the douche-bag in the van figures he can drive right under it??
And...did I actually see them letting passengers out in the middle of the highway in a traffic jam? That seems like a safe solution to at least the population problem......

No thanks....having a moving "bus" running over the top of me is just a bit too much....keep that crap over thar in China...we got enough problems on the roads as it is.... Thumbs Down
