»Sunglider Smart Uberground Metro« is autonomous, PV fuelled public transport system for medium-sized urban areas. It consists of autonomous people & cargo movers (+1 level) and small autonomous busses on the ground. The track is totally glulam constructed and carries a PV roof generating 117% of the energy required for the entire system. The Metro is controlled by AI, creating a wait-free cycle of 3 minutes day & night. All vehicles are 3D printed in micro-factories. Investment and operation costs are drastically cut back allowing a free-of-charge ride without a deficit in the balance.
