Ultimate Electric Highway

I had previously proposed a robotic highway. I would like to enhance that idea further. The new idea is an ultimate electric highway. It would be composed of suspension bridges with wind turbine towers. The electric generated by the wind turbines would be feed over the single lane roads. The vehicles operating on this elevated highway will be powered from the road. As a result, they don’t need to incorporate a large battery on board. However, they will still have a small capacity battery. The highway’s electric infrastructure would also be connected to the mains grid. The surplus power from the wind turbines would be fed into the grid and vice versa. All the vehicles would be autonomous while traveling on the highway and would be manually operated outside the highway. This allows the electric vehicles to operate point to point. While traveling long distances they would operate autonomously and powered from the road. When outside the highway they would function like a traditional electric vehicle with battery and manual control. This setup allows personal cars to operate on the highway as well. Unlike my previous idea on robot only highway. The overall objective of the idea is the come up with a solution to operate electric vehicles over long distances without the need for larger batteries. The idea relies on already mature wind turbine construction. The suspension bridge architecture also speeds up the construction.
