Your Own Personal Monorail?

So, what became of this? (Source: Christian Science Monitor, April 1, 2004.)

"Imagine a tiny red vehicle traveling 50 miles an hour on a guideway 3 feet wide that winds 20 feet above ground. Another vehicle hums quietly in front. ... A half mile later, the car exits the guideway, eases into a station, and stops. There's no driver - everything is automated. The hatch opens, and the passenger walks two blocks to the office."
