If you drive 400 miles in a day, then that's mostly motorway or A

It 'would need a bit of heavy engineering , London Trams used such a
system on many of the inner sections of their routes

I wasn't being entirely serious, but you don't need an actual slot, the
computer control would position the car and/or pickups.

This system used a slot, but only to guide the bogie through the
'points'. Look what happens when get it wrong...

I was trying to remember the name of that a few weeks back when there
was some discussion about the Parry people mover, remember that clip
going out on the evening news.
