5.8Weight and Other Common Elements:

Grid vehicles will have certain common elements in order to be Grid compliant. Weight is perhaps the most limiting, however, Grid compliant vehicles will also be required to be fully enclosed during transit on the Grid so as to avoid the possibility of objects being blown or suctioned from the vehicle. Once closed at Grid entry, doors and windows will be inoperable on Grid vehicles until exiting the Grid System. Vehicles towing trailers, for example, would not be allowed Grid access. Each vehicle will have the equivalent of today’s speed control sensors, both front and back, in order for the Grid vehicle’s on board computer to recognize an impending collision and plot a braking solution and/or deploy safety restraints. Grid vehicles will have both positive and negative electrical pickups which will provide direct current (DC), power to a Grid vehicle’s on-board battery at a rate (at least), equal to the power draw from a Hybrid PT vehicle’s electrical motors and other systems.
