Eight and a half million lane miles in the U.S.. Quarter of a billion highway vehicles in the U.S..
It would seem that you could then spend 30x per mile of road as on mile of car to automate the process, however: If you automate one vehicle independent of road upgrades, that vehicle is instantly usable on all of that road. If you automate one mile of road, none of those vehicles are yet usable on that road.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
