First, vehicles would have to pass a safety inspection. Then vehicle information would be loaded into a database, and motorists would purchase a transponder.

After setting up an account, anyone in a hurry could dial in, and for $25 charged to a credit card, be free to speed for 24 hours.

The Nevada Highway Patrol isn’t keen on the idea, saying it would lead to increased injuries and traffic deaths.»

While the idea might look crazy, the designers explain, “As the Cartesian axes have all been heavily considered as sites for green (horizontal parks, vertical building walls and even rooftops), the logical next location lies in non-Cartesian space—floating in the air.”»
