1 year agoIt’s definitely less than that. The advantages will be when you’re able to get in a vehicle and input your destination and it can go straight there without a single other stop. In theory at least. I’m not saying it’s genius but it’s an interesting concept and I’m curious to see if it works when scaled.
Here’s a source for passing the capacity requirement during a test. Again I’m not saying it’s going to work when scaled but so far it seems plausible and was far cheaper than building a train or rail between the ends of the convention center. And it has the wow factor.
The big benefits are supposed to come once the vehicles can skip all other stops and go directly to the destination. We’ll see.
