2 thoughts on “High-Speed Cars”

  1. When I was a teenager, I read (and re-read) an SF novel called “Code Three” by Rick Raphael (based on an earlier short story by Raphael), which posited a future North America with a set of super-highways allowing very high speed (100-500 mph) vehicles. Haven’t read it in years, and the idea seems unfeasible now — given, for example, the impossible task that LA faces just trying to widen some its freeways — but honestly, it makes more sense than high-speed rail.

    By the way, “Code Three” was nominated for a Hugo, which itself shows how much that process has changed.
