Unfortunately, Elon isn’t the only one. There’s been like a half dozen different times now that people have claimed to solve the self driving car issue by…putting cars on train tracks.
So trains, but worse in every way. Single occupancy, traffic congestion, motors on every pod, traditional rubber car tires, magnetic strips planted into a normal highway for computers to follow, etc. Every time, they’ve found a way to make trains but worse.
Those aren’t trains. I don’t give a shit if they want to use the word “invented” if it means we actually get trains.
Sure techbros. Be revolutionary. Invent the subway.
You’re missing the “but worse” part of the equation.
Yeah, I’m not counting Elon’s shit.

I feel like we can improve on that. Maybe these tech bros can innovate on these issues.
