Automated vehicle conveyance apparatus transportation system

A vehicle conveyance apparatus to convey a car-pod carrying a passenger along a transit track between two end stations, the vehicle conveyance apparatus comprising:

• a chassis;
• a self-propulsion mechanism, coupled to the chassis, the self-propulsion mechanism configured to independently convey the vehicle conveyance apparatus along the transit track;
• a car-pod coupling mechanism, coupled to the chassis, the car-pod coupling mechanism to securely couple the car-pod to the vehicle conveyance apparatus, wherein the car-pod is capable to independently travel over a roadway coupled to the transit track;
• and
• a transit track coupling mechanism, coupled to the self-propulsion mechanism, the transit track coupling mechanism configured to couple the vehicle conveyance apparatus to the transit track.

A car-pod to carry a passenger between a beginning destination to an ending destination, the car-pod comprising:

• a chassis;
• a vehicle conveyance coupling mechanism, coupled to the chassis, the vehicle conveyance coupling mechanism to securely couple the car-pod to a vehicle conveyance apparatus, wherein the coupled car-pod conveys along a transit track propelled by the vehicle conveyance apparatus;
• and
• a self-propulsion mechanism, coupled to the chassis, the self-propulsion mechanism to independently propel the car-pod along a roadway if the car-pod is uncoupled from the vehicle conveyance apparatus.
