Not if it works the way Google intends. In theory, the autonomous car couldcan drive on any street, in any condition in America. The only real infrastructure change that would be needed would be a dedicated a drop off and load lane at the parks and that is simply for efficiency. They could just as easily park in the parking lots, but that would require significantly more vehicles for it to work.
It would still need to stop every time people walk in front of it or cars try to cross. That's almost all the time. So, a dedicated guideway is muy desirable.
It would be desirable for any car/human interaction, autonomous or not. However, it would be no more necessary than it is under the current system of human controlled cars. Quite honestly, it is conceivable that it would be less necessary with an autonomous system.
But a higher customer satisfaction and "magical"'experience guests expect from Disney with its own dedicated guideway. In addition, they can theme it and lace it with special effects. Synchronized neon lights, programable colored LEDs, fiber optics, and so on.
Love the "you all" comment, particularly when some of us are the most adamant about the direction the parks have been going in....
Most of us would. But don't have time to spend in the imagineering forum where this talk really belongs.
Hardly. We just have to look elsewhere for light transit proposals.
I believe you. It's just that I keep hearing the company line here as if it was being read from Disney's legal or PR departments. It's rare that I hear what individuals think in their own words. When I hear the company line being repeated over and over again, how am I honestly supposed to take that as someone's original thoughts? It's not them talking. It's something fed to them by the Disney Corporate Machine.
No, far too often it's common sense and reality. I can understand your confusion though....
You are mistaking "company line" with the reality of a for profit business. You are stuck under this delusion that WDW is some kind of utopia where profit and loss are irelevant. They are a business like any other. Their stockholders like money and management likes to keep them happy. You don't do that by spending billions on something that has little chance of even breaking even.
Okay then. Yes they should build the three ready to go routes to DHS, Sports and LBV. Yes, LBV needs some sort of Peoplemover. DHS monorail should probably continue to DAK and not loop around the studios parking lot. Yes, the canal from CBR to Showcase should be built.
We're discussing a real project that the Walt Disney Development Co. had engineered that up until now "didn't exist" because anything previously discussed was just some meaningless proposal and lines on a map that meant didly squat (because they never were and never will be actual projects). Now, reality has shifted because someone found the paperwork proving that at least one of these "imaginary" projects real. That doesn't belong in Imagineering unless you want to discredit or minimize it?
I stopped setting trusses using the force a few years ago when someone thought it would be funny to pop a paper bag behind my head when I had a 60x60 section floating about 30' in the air. The screams still keep me up at night.

No. It was that darn 7' tall dog he keeps with him. The guy bails me out of a tough situation once and he thinks that he can just do whatever he pleases around me.
Paul Pressler made the aw argent to Eisner and look where that got him and the parks are still paying the price for his/yours misguided philosophy.
Dude, it has been. Usually every few months for the past decade and more.
