My idea to speed the boarding process: All of the seats are in the gate area. You board your designated seat and buckle up. The seat is then moved into the plane via an electrically powered motor with a GPS unit programmed to take the seat to the specific spot in the airplane where the seat belongs. Carry-on luggage would be restricted to what you can carry on your lap, and would be placed under the seat in front of you once that seat arrives into the aircraft. This method would eliminate entirely the practice of standing the aisle, since you would be seated in your seat before you even enter the plane.

And I think my plan is just as feasible as the plan in the OP's link. So please give me $10 million to develop such a system, pleaseandthanks.
