@wesley @Vladimir They had a virtual demo showing boarding areas similar to MARTA bus bays, with fences. It's unclear how efficiently pods will dock and leave boarding areas.

@bdatlrides I don't think they'll actually leave much. I'm mostly interested in the finances because I think these sorts of companies are selling politicians an excuse to avoid building transit (see also the beltline autonomous vehicles ideas, vegas loop, etc), and I want them to be paid as little as possible for that.

@Vladimir They claim to have another demo site by the SJC airport but they didn't provide any pics of that. They have a pic with a real demo dock but not much else.

@wesley @Vladimir TBH I wasn't sold on their claim of GPS/lidar-only navigation without a rail or side tire if they want to achieve speeds/throughput using the illustrated narrow guideways.
