To me solar roadways, parking lots, driveways, etc fail the common sense test. Why would you integrate a technology that can't be shaded with another technology that is designed to have things on top of it? What happens when it breaks down and needs to be repaired? They have a tough enough time keeping the traffic moving on asphalt.
I guess the argument could be made that at some point in the distant future a road can be coated with something that turns light into energy, but by then we'll all be flying around in fusion powered hover cars and solar technology (and automobile roads) will be historical footnotes.
