“We have an idea for something,
. . . which is not exactly a bus,
. . . but would solve the density problem for inner city situations,” he said at the conference.

One of the issues that people have with public transportation is,
. . . that it won’t pick you up at at your door, and
. . . won’t drop you off where you want to go.
Many don’t care for standing around in the rain waiting for a bus.
. . . Others with physical handicaps, can’t get to or from a traditional bus stop.

It seems pretty clear,
. . . that what Musk is talking about is an electric vehicle,
. . . that is larger than a car but smaller than a typical city bus.

Operated autonomously,
. . . it could use advanced route planning software,
. . . to provide the door to door service people want, and
. . . do it efficiently.
