They already did that. That's how we ended up with so many highways in
the first place.


The highways are an inherent result of technology evolution, society needs,
and normal progress. Trying to hold on to past with obsolete technology
always fails in a free society.

People that do not want to use the most effective technology are called
laggards and are the bottom 16% of society in measures such as income,
mental ability, connectivity to others, and effectiveness in society in
general.

Society in general is not run by the least effective people in the lowest
levels of society.
