If the highway itself does their driving for them, they may fall even deeper into drivers' coma. The cars will speed along the Zworykin highway in a wide and orderly stream, passing and repassing like strands in a braided belt. The drivers will have nothing to do; they can sleep or play cards or stare at the flowing...
