The problem is that high tech place on road are more easily stolen (by hobo) than thing high up in the sky.
oh yeah, poor people are always the problem
I mean, someone like Elon Musk (probably) isn't stealing the copper from charging stations to fund his drug habits, the ultra-wealthy have far more efficient ways of stealing from society. People being desperate enough to steal wiring from infrastructure is definitely a problem, even if it's a symptom of greater issues.
yeah man, that is how rich people always think. Luckily, most policy maker are rich. So do investors.
I do agree, it would be a theft risk, I believe it would work best with the antenna actually being in the road instead of above it to remove risk factors, but you also lose range doing that, since something like that would likely be passive not active to avoid requiring a power source, although active would be better but again, $$
