A new modality for automatic people moving is introduced, the Aeromobile air cushion vehicle (ACV) in elevated Aeroducts. Air cushion support of vehicles offers the benefits of Maglev without the severe limitations of a precision magnetic gap, weather sensitivity, high cost of vehicle and ROW, permanent and superconducting magnets, liquid helium, etc. Air is everywhere and can levitate vehicles frictionlessly, economically, and amphibiously, for all weather, in all climates, in all seasons, with perfect guidance. AAAPM offers high-speed personal travel totally automated, eliminating all parking, all parking lots, and gridlock. Automated Aeromobile travel can eliminate highway deaths, injuries, and billions of annual hours lost in gridlock. In the AAAPM, Aeromobiles in Aeroducts can economically do what Maglev cannot, inexpensively come from one's home to take people to work, school, shopping and return. Even the venerable but deadly family automobile cannot offer the features of AAAPM, and may finally be superseded by Aeromobiles. Air cushion vehicles, ACV's, are simple, both the vehicle and their rights-of-ways are very inexpensive, both are mass producible and the system can be economically elevated, with zero pollution of the air and ground.
