Probably a lot closer to 100%. I think a lot of this boils down to people
who want to climb into a car and have it follow a wire imbedded in the road
all the way to their destination, and people who love to drive.

This is actually something that is tested and implemented.
It is a cheap and reliable way to set up a driverless public
transport.
It is possible to use current roads and you can actually put
electricity in the road or above it for electrical vehicles.
The electrical vehicles do not need to get electricity all the time so
the grid does not need to be connected all the time.
This system works really well and may be seen in ever more places as
time goes by.

********
Where, exactly, is such a system in current public use??
I have seen such concepts in semitechnical magazines (Like Popular
Science) for years, but never saw one actually commercially and
publicly deployed.

I saw something recently where GM was building a section of road, maybe a
test track. Of course, they were talking about this in 1965 too.
Construction is a bit slow, I guess.
