@femphysics FACTS

"So we were thinking dedicated self driving car lanes"
"If we hoist these autonomous pods up above traffic and have them run on demand, they can link to save power"
"Cars! In a tunnel!"

JUST BUILD TRAINS YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKWITS

@iyalei @femphysics but that's not #futuristic and #cool looking, so when #Elon doesn't go out of his way to do the #Hyperloop scam solely to sabotage #CHSR (#California #HighSpeedRail) you can see shitty #TechBros doing other grifts like the #Ottobahn, which is what happens when someone had a bad LSD trip on the #Wuppertal #Dangletrain:

Yoi get a shittier & absurdly more complex overhead-#monorail for rich #Wankers, cuz #Pods instead of #Cabins!

@iyalei @femphysics also note it didn't take 85 seconds into the video for them to lie:

A single #pod coasting in a small office circle is not a "full-scale prototype", that's not even a full-scale maintenance depot...

And for some reason these #grifters are more successful than #Siemens who basically deliver the same (#SAFEGE-Style System) but as turnkey-ready setups AND in a comfiguration that is at least somewhat makes sense as #PublicTransport...
