That's the thrust of a white paper proposal that imagines an "autonomous vehicle corridor" replacing the I-5 freeway between Seattle and Vancouver. VC firm Madrona Venture Group first proposed the idea last year, and has now refined it to explain how such a radical proposal could be phased in over time. The Golden State already allows electric cars access to coveted carpool lanes, to encourage low-emissions driving. Of course, a white paper from some VC firm won't convince any transportation agency to make such a major change.
