This is an incredible idea. I plan on donating to this on my next paycheck. I'm surprised this project only has 9 days left, which is a shame.

Its one of their flexible funding campaigns so they get the money regardless of if they reach their goal or not.
Oh oh oh, I saw this ... where did I see this.. I saw this on imgur I think! Yes!
I talk too much but if you feel like reading it all have at it
I feel like they're changing wayyy too many things at once that affects several too many industries at once (electric, internet, water treament, etc). Don't get me wrong, I'd love that.. but .. US companies and government bodies perhaps not so much. Also I'm getting very tired of anything with a processor being called "smart."
how the pineapple would the installation work, they'd have to close down entire lanes and in some cases highways while they're working on this
what's the weight? how will this affect bridges
how smooth would the transition be from tiles to road
HOW SLIPPERY IS THIS pomegranate WHEN IT RAINS/SNOWS
asphalt allows for plow drivers to simply push snow without regard, as they scrape across the road surface, how do you plow these roads
what will be used for backup power when it snows?
am i the only one who watched the videos/read the faq...
This stuff is just unrealistically expensive.
Roads are made with asphalt because it's basically using petroleum waste products for something instead of just dumping it.
I used to think this, then I saw how much over budget the latest attempt at high speed rail has gone in California.
I like this idea a lot because it decentralizes power production and ought to be relatively easy to fund through current infrastructure avenues. I am still skeptical about it's economic viability and durability as a roadway.
I'd really love to see budget comparisons between Japan high speed rails and how much the cal train was. Just for curiosity's sake. Maybe a restructure is in order! Not so much really, but it'd be fun to compare for sure.
Durability tests passed with flying colors, they have demonstration vids on the indie gogo as well as their website FAQ, but economic viability remains to be seen. I'm fairly skeptical in general because it's a great idea that'll put a lot of people out of business or losing profits. No bueno in americana
