Yay, so they actually made it into production then. I remember one being demoed on Tomorrow's World. For the readers under about 40, that was a popular science program on (BBC) TV many years ago that primarily reported on new technologies.

On our street a few years ago, it needed resurfacing. But there were one or two bits that weren't too bad. So they left the not too bad bits - with the result that now there are gaps and holes every few feet where the joins were left. Plus more holes all along the sides where they left a join with the old tarmac rather than work to the edge of the road which would have meant some manual work as it's a dry stone wall.
