Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) is an idea that’s been around for a long time – as the video by BBC’s technology show “Click” explains, linked below. It is easier to implement than ever thanks to the software we have today. The pod-style transportation now implemented at London’s Heathrow Airport uses cute, custom rubber-tired vehicles. Vehicles are programmed to go to the user’s destination. A similar system was being considered in Abu Dhabi’s eco-city Masdar.  TEV shares the networked, software-driven and customizable elements of PRT, however the comparisons end there; PRT is generally limited to metropolitan areas or special installations like airports, whereas TEV is a practical to roll out everywhere. Watch BBC Click clip
