The problem with only hiring "idea guys," techbros and consultants is that eventually you'll need actual work done.My original video on the Hyperloop: https:...
For hyperloop only prototypes were built, not for real usage. Considering the price of maintenance and construction of the vacuum tunnels, bigger cars will be used in normal operation. It’s also a separate system from any other current transport method, so there is no benefit of smaller cars, maybe something like a RORO system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll-on/roll-off
Ok. I thought the original proposal was a pneumatic tunnel system connecting major cities (e.g. LA & SF) catering to individual passenger vehicles. So essentially a RORO, but smaller scale for transporting passenger cars.
The LV system always seemed like a demo of the concept, but without the pneumatic system.
Even more ideally there should be ample public transport at either end of the high speed line so a car isn’t necessary, and freight trains are far more efficient than carrying a lorry containing a single container.
Eurotunnel is relatively unique as it bridges the UK to the rest of Europe, and the only other realistic option is a slower ferry journey. Where continental journeys are concerned there’s no need for them to be able to carry vehicles in my opinion.
Wasn’t the hyperloop just a vacuum tube for cars? As in, it would have the same density issues that cars do, it’s just faster.
The better option is ultra high speed trains, like the bullet train in Japan.
It’s just a propulsion/transportation system, so the size of each car is not defined. Like a bus and a personal car use the same system…
Maybe you think about his boring tunnels which are just normal tunnels for normal cars: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_Convention_Center_Loop

Ideally with the ability to transport cars and lorrys like LeShuttle.

It’s not that unique, RORO trains aka rolling highways are used throughout Europe, but for freight only: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_highway
We’ll, guess I learned something today and stand corrected. Thanks
