You see no advantage to using zero additional land area? How many gripes did we have here about the land used by that big solar facility whose name I cannot even recall (early onset Alzheimers).
I admit that with the added goodies the price per unit area on these must be high. Note that the actual prototypes had only a handful of LEDs while the artist's conceptions - changing basketball courts into squash courts - would have required a nearly solid matrix of them. And then there's the pressure sensors, the smarts, the commuunication...
This might be more a product for the relatively well heeled to install over their own driveways and roofs. Carmel, Newport and Boca Raton could put them in.
