You'll get a 'virtual ambulance' .....
I was thinking more like a Star Trek transporter down the fibre
Now that would require a bit of bandwidth.
But you would still end up on a trolley in emergency.

Imagine if we just put a few Tardis like pods every Km or so,
( think public phone boxes )
we could just hop in and just send ourselves somewhere.
No need to waste money on roads or rail
but that may then put all the auto workers out of a job.

My biggest concern with all this stuff is it is eventually designed
to get less numbers of highly trained specialist people to be able to service "the world". Not everyone can ( or wants to be ) a
specialist like this.
With our population increasing at the rate it is,
but the requirement for lower skilled people being reduced by computers due to cost, it cant go on much longer without imploding somewhere.
Be interesting to see how it evolves.
