Fred Reeds, googLe it, friend.
I gotta work.
Anyway, the train pulled in and looked like a freaking rocketship.
America’s most productive cities are notoriously short of housing.
From someone who proposed building more airports...lol.
You act like there is only one way to go forward - the same way we did for the last 100 years.
This seems more like progress and the way forward to me.
I seriously hope you joking.
It will cost a million bucks, on l y Zuckerberg can afford one.

Why and about what? If you're talking to me. If you think trains are the future, you've got to be joking, not me.
Didn't watch the whole video, but this is it. You can have single lane traffic at different altitudes and have them merge over into the air (space) that likely already exists and descent to their destination. Like front door type shit. And it could all be automated.
You are ignorant of energy utilization efficiency Each of us flying on our personal aircraft to work!!
You are also clueless of vehicle cost for pie-in-the sky tech.

There were no HS rail in China in 2008. Today, it is the envy of the world, outside patnet, anyway.
We pretty much already have the technology available now and just need to get the government regulations, software and battery tech in sync. Hopefully in the next 10 years,
This approach seems far better, faster, more environmentally friendly and less daunting than building thousands of miles of new freeway lanes, railroad tracks, bridges, tunnels and everything that goes with it.

You do understand that it's a matter of years, not decades before we have drones that can fly you around with the same batteries that are in Teslas, right? I dislike the guy and thought he was an idiot for trying what he was doing, but Musk has made MASSIVE waves in a short amount of time in what, a top 5 global industry? Creating a EV out of thin air and doing it better or as good compared to the grandfathers of the industry. Pie-in-the sky I suppose. Tell that to D-bag Musk.

And what does their (China) HS rail do? Essentially moves slaves to their jobs. If you got into...
When EV/renewable enervy is bad - Musk is a scammer, Tesla is a accounting pyramid heading to bkcy
Why don't you try "highest effective utilization of a unit of energy per unit of dustance", at a scale of billions of people context.
Trains do have the advantage that they generally stop in the centers of cities, unlike airports, which are almost always on the peripheries.
If you don't think proposing everyone to fly on electric drones as a mass transport solution is absurd, I guess we agree to disagree.
They are not afraid to stand up for what has been theirs for many generations.
But they don't control the big open sky. That's the future.......at least the future I want to live in.
Fixing transportation with trains is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
You left out costs. These would be million dollar vehicles with very high insurance costs. Total costs of operating one of these would be at least $500/hr.
Think about it, why does a low end aircraft like the Cessna cost more than a Rolls Royce?
Energy efficiency matrices is a bit (very) complex. One of the major factors is the number of occupants of any type (avg. maintenance cost + base_cost/commute + cost/passenger/commute)
https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/policy/cars-weigh-too-much -gives a basic comparison.
The age of Electric Aviation is just 30 Years Away. Let that sink it.
he technological advancements that allowed Tesla to squeeze 335 miles from the Model S and Chevrolet to get 200 out of the Bolt are not enough to power anything more than the smallest aircraft for the shortest distance.”
If personal EV drone is not a solution for today, why are we talking about it.

It was pure old-school corruption, a specialty of Democrats.
