My daughter had it on her cell phone and it was constantly telling me to turn off my intended course. I ignored it and proceed on the course I had already derided on. She eventually turned it of due to a low battery.

How about the car itself? How did it work out?

It worked out fine, I got where I wanted to go without problem or interference from the GPS system.

Planes, and conventional vehicles will be a thing of the past with travel to the other side of the world in less than a day.
I can imagine this eventually happening in east Asia but I can't see how a democratic society could possibly create that kind of new infrastructure because numerous properties would need to be taken over, not to mention interference from powerful legacy energy players.
When the petrol runs out and the electric car is shown to be the vanity project that it in fact is, the road space will be available for the tubes. It is simply impractical to have each person in their own autonomous, self powered metal box, and battery technology, even with recycling makes rare metal very expensive.

Show me the articles that allegedly back you up on this as many contradict what you're saying and sculpting in a studio doesn't make you an expert.

Trying to provoke me isn't going to work for you. So where's your evidence or are you making up stories again?

Oh you were having a conversation with yourself then? You would do better if you run along and clear your mind.

You were talking to both me and Greta, but to me first on 3/7/2017.

Who says what I'm getting like? No name calling from me. No insults. And it is my right to have you prove to me what you're claiming on this thread for which you haven't provided a shred of evidence. I already know you can't back up what you claim on this thread. And by the way, I do know what you get like when you pretend to debate.

I've already done that. Where is the evidence that backs up your claims?
