Development and deployment of the latest and effective automated transit systems has been the goal of a number of government agencies, private institutions, and individual entrepreneurs for more than half of a century. To improve safety and efficiency and reduce congestion, it is necessary to think outside of the conventional transit or prevalent single occupancy vehicle (SOV) boxes. There are a number of important lessons learned after examining the automated transit development history and diversified applications. Personal driving has been considered to allow more "freedom" by the baby boomer generation while millennials rather browse the internet, text via mobile phones, or immerse themselves in online games while chatting with friends via multiple channels. Most of the studies gathered information on technology suppliers and related literature and applications, some of them estimated ridership, capital or operation and maintenance costs.
