I always thought the dumbest solution to traffic was “let’s just add another lane”, but Elon has seen that solution and 1-upped it with “let’s just add another lane, underground”
That's literally how humans evolved through transportation tho. We add an extra dimension, so we either use the path above us, under us, or just make the road wider. That's literally how we evolve in traffic problem solving. As weird as Musk's idea is, this is a really dumb way to criticize it.
is that what you want to call it? brilliant! now you are part of the project transportation breakthrough that will advance our technology by 1000 yrs ahead of its time
This Elon de genre mask guy is obsessed with the tunnels for some reason. .. probably he couldn't get enough opportunity to access the real tunnels in his whole long pathetic life.
Could we have local youth groups draw obscene art work on the side of the "hyperpod" so the passengers could have something to stare at as they ignore a drunk hyperpissing himself in the corner ?
Even if it had some sort of cap that came into place after the car descended below the surface, that would amount to a long hold-up of traffic. Without the cap, it's a fucking death trap.
There has been something i have noticed is that many things have been “invented” long before they are built or used. Gadgetbahns in particular, have been already conceptualized centuries ago, even when trains were in their infancy. So therefore, Its clear to me that if this stuff was viable, it would’ve replaced the traditional train a long time ago. So you’d have to be Elon Musk (an idiot) to not realize that Gadgetbahns are a technological dead end.
@@mrthanos2404 Me too I was more of just making a joke because your username is funny. I just imagine Thanos giving wise advice about public transit and it cracks me up.
The revealing fact about this plan is that not only has Elon never been on a subway or tram, but he also thinks everyone has a car or would prefer to have a car in a big city.
I live in Montreal, a very European inspired city, we have amazing public transit, however I rarely use it since I work in the industrial park which has awful transit coverage so I have to drive. But I never take my car downtown or to the east end if I ever need to go there. Too much of a pain of the ass.
@@davidteres9463 judging by your decision to link a random video instead of a Rick-Roll, I can safely say that you probably have a personality of a disposable camera
I love your idea for a “subterranean highway” . The kids now of days with their slang may even call it a “Subway”. I don’t know if that name will catch on
old but gold. I think making fires with dry sticks is something that can save Humanity you know? many of this climate change problems exist because we lost the blueprints on how to make these supreme hiperdrysticks fires from postmodern mother nature
At this point Elon could say that the solution to water consumption in public bathrooms is to shit outside in a hypergarden and I bet some would call him visionary for that.
Catapult is far to outfated. Just ready some cannons and shoot people, some small gliders will be enough and then there will ether be a backpack jetpack people have to fill like it was a car, and it will serve to make a smooth landing. Ofc they need their licence first. This is so you can land whenever you want.
You really need to patent and market this brilliant invention. How about we call it the Tesla Railway-Auto Integrated Non-surface System. Or T.R.A.I.N.S.

Nah, that shit is train 0.1 closed alpha. This fucker didn't even put emergency exits throughout tge tunnel, so if you crash your tesla ou some shit happens, you rest assured that there's absolutely no escape
@@andresaofelipe no need for emergency exits when there's already another tesla behind you going 200 kmh that quickly finishes you off so you dont have to deal with the consequences of the crash.
Everybody is laughing at Elons inefficient and expensive system, and rightfully so. But it ignores why rich urbanites like the Elon-tunnel: They dont want to feel like they are taking public transportation, and they are willing to pay a rediculous premium to keep it that way..
Exactly what i was thinking. It really fits into the class based way of thinking that public transportation is for poor people, that you need to keep your distance from.
3 года назад
And even more willing when the premium is paid by everyone, but it is going to be used mostly by them
@@Bertuzz84 People think that public transport is for poor people because right now it sucks. If public transport could get you from any part of town to every other part of town in under 20 minutes, you would be a complete idiot to still use cars in the city and thus the public perception would change. There should be many more subways and every subway should be made out of lots of small boxes designed for only 1 person . The boxes should have 1 seat, air conditioner, an electric plug so you can charge your phone and a minibar with normal prices. And the most important thing, you should be able to pay for the ticket by scaning your hand or your eye. That way they could charge more money for the a ticket. Subway stations should also have lots of confortable seats and again, an eletric plug so you can charge your phone.
I think that in retrospect he probably did consider the fact that this would also help Tesla and maybe boost sells, I also think that he was just creating a new way of transportation that is innovative, would make less traffic, and could honestly be safer. I honestly really respect Elon musk and I admire his work personally (I’m sure some will disagree and that’s okay) but i really enjoy the ideas and what he wants to do to change the world. Inspiring to me!
I am sure Elon would "modify" his 'idea' into privatized public transport, charge a premium for it, and Americans that have never experienced a well funded public transport system would think he's a genius and a savor for it.
Atleast the Americans would get better public transportation compared with what they already have Edit: my other comment got deleted, but a lot of people couldnt detect my sarcasm. ❄️
I knew where this was heading and still couldn't stop laughing. I finally watched this video thinking it would just be him saying the obvious. Yeah, much better than so lol.
We got rid of self driving cars that would also take you home automatically after you passed out drinking, they had an automatic obstacle avoidance system and what not, they were called horse

there is a massive flaw in your system: if you dont need a personal car anymore, people wouldn't buy any Tesla cars. thats a big 'everyone disliked that' from me
it also means people wouldn't buy any other cars, so GM would just lobby the government to make the train system shit again, and all the suburbs of america are specifically designed so theyre completely useless without a car. the companies already thought of this, and already made it impossible 70 years ago.
@@KingFinnch Damn shame too. If I wanna go places without a car, now I have to get a damn taxi from place to place. Especially since my city refuses to add actual public transport of any kind, aside from their not-Uber taxi service which they claim is good enough. It's better than nothing, but at $3-5 per ride (and a city layout where everything is spread out so a car is a necessity) I'd rather have a city layout where I don't have to pay for so many rides and I could just walk to work or the store or wherever.
Maybe adding a monthly subscription business model to the project could increase agility in entering the system. It could even be applied to the overground hyperpod depending on the price you pay. Maybe calling it "cyber ID check-in token" or something
Politician: So how can we solve traffic people? Some guy: How about we de centralize the cities and incentivice the people to place their businesses further away from the city center, that way less people will need to travel into the city. Other guy: how about we overhaul our public transportation system so that more people take the bus, or introduce a tram system so we can incorporate a metro like solution without tunneling? Politician: Both of you, fired Elon: let's build a giant, underground hyperloop that will grab existing cars and accelerate them to high speeds using untested technology, in a massively expensive proyect. Politician: Take all the money you need kid, this will get me re elected.
I live in an area of the US with little or no public transit, and when I took a trip to Manhattan and used their subway system, it was legit like being in the future. Even though the system was built 120 years ago. No car needed and there’s a subway station every few blocks. And a ticket cost $2.75. It was like a breath of fresh air compared to car-only travel. Edit: If you want to know the true cost of America's car culture, I forgot to mention that an Uber from JFK airport into Manhattan cost $81. And someone I was with really wanted to ride Ubers around Manhattan for our entire trip instead of take the subway because public transit was unfamiliar and scary to them.
I grew up in a place with no public transit and very low walkability. For the last 8 years, I've lived in cities with miles and miles of sidewalk and robust public transit. I'm never going back. Not having a car is the best.
and we're in france complaining bout how every fcking bus is 15+ minutes late xd i guess i won't complain bout that anymore... unless i'm speaking to a japanese dude (curse their 5s average delay with trains)
Elon Musk hasn't shown to be particularly creative. Virtually everything he owns was created by someone else. Elon is great at optimizing and interconnecting all of his projects into a particular vision. Whenever he comes up with an idea it is usually just an optimized version of an already formulated idea and it usually lacks analytical scope on a macro scale. I think he could be creative but he is too over confident in his projections and it leads to him running into detail based errors.
It's not "shittier", you just missed the point because you aren't privileged enough to understand that people who own a tesla doesn't want to breath the same air as those other, potentially poor, people in the subway. They can't stand to see poverty, misery or simply smell of other humans.
Without any sarcasm: this video actually really made me appreciate the subway etc. systems we already have in place. If you are used to them they are annoying and nothing special. But if you think about it, we've built some really damn smart things!
There's a podcast I like about design, called "99% Invisible", and I take the name to mean, we are constantly surrounded by things that were designed, and that design work has made those objects much much better than the earlier versions of them would have been. But we don't see the design work because most of the cleverness of it is invisible to us because, well, they're just mundane things!
Most People in Small cities/towns like mine haven't even seen a metro let alone being in one. I remember Vividly when I first step inside the metro train. Truly impressive.
I live in a city with a metro system and I absolutely love them. The only thing the city needs is more lines, maybe add back our tramways, they got scrapped in the mid XX century in favour of cars.
As engineering student focusses in designing... As engineering we always want to make the simple solution not the most complicated genius big brain plan... But the thing is without trying this big brain ideas which are stupid we may not get the innovation that makes thing simpler
@sword-swinging cat life never gives you what you want so if you want to die then you'll live miracalously. And that's how i managed to survive over 100 different types of suicides... life is unfair 😭
Well he certainly has some interested ideas, but executing them effectively is the hard part. I like this channel, but this dude has background in the humanities yet talks about engineering.
@@dahleno2014 he has nothing. Those ideas existed decades, some even more than a century. The fact that even humanitarian can roll out constructive criticism to his crap only proves how pathetic all of that is. You know, before this channel I was like "What is that crap about tesla? There is nothing new, what all the hype? What all the hype about space? What real new had he brought? What is that ugly cybertruck got special to deserve the hype?" I knew it smelled stupid like all that apple and other hyped shit, just been doubting like maybe I don't know something. Now I just see that there is absolutely nothing but hyped shit and teenager ideas. And so do other people.
Just so you know this dudes totally wrong in the videos for example steel wheels on steel guides would not be smooth there would be a lot of wear and much more rub. This guys just asserting himself as knowing what he’s talking about but trust me he’s wrong
@@mattpires607 you'd probably be surprised, but go and compare service life of car tires and railway wheels. They definitely outperform rubber in durability. And smoothness? It depends on quality of railway and suspensions about the wheels(nobody been talking noise lol) so yeah, he actually didn't lie there. He has some inaccuracies, we all people make mistakes you know, but mostly he has good point and good job of showing how absurd and ridiculous Musk ideas really are.
This reminded me of Niel degrasse tyson on JRE, when Joe was getting all excited about flying cars and NDT said "we already have flying cars, they're called helicopters"
I've had that conversation way too often. People think drones are some kind of magic, when in fact multiple small rotors is just worse than a single big one.
@@Benjamin-xv9le well, having multiple small ones still brings the benefit of: when one breaks, you still have others working that could then sagely bring you down, or still get you where you need to go, because the system has a couple extra for situations like that. like. planes for example where at this point in time one is powerful enough to drive the entire plane (or two if the plane has 4)
If you're stuck in that tunnel you're pretty much dead. There's no exitways, no ventilation, no means to call for help and that far underground under tons of concrete you're definitely not going to have signal to call someone from your phone either. If you get stuck, you're dead the minute the next person enters the loop and crashes into you at max speed because they assume the tunnel is empty.
I literally don't see why everyone is so obsessed with cars being the future, even tho we have seen multiple times how much more effective PublicTransport is
@@moonsapling well...in the US probably not, in Europe, it is more likely to be possible (and even cheaper). Cars here are much more expensive to buy as well as gas
@@nikouk4513 I do live in Europe, and no, the bus wont go offroading to my exact desired spot with all my camping gear. Nor it will pull my trailers etc.
The problem with not having a car is you are limited to only being able to travel with the public transportation system. So traveling to even moderately remote places is impossible. cars are very unnecessary in cities, UNLESS you want to transport stuff, i.e. you bought something and need to transport it home, or you want to move furniture. And the convenience of being able to travel from point to point, instead of switching between bus, train. Lets say you need to recycle stuff that you can't just throw in the regular garbage. Now you really need a car to be able to transport that to a recycling station. I don't own a car yet, but these are just some things that make me want to own a car soon.
Real talk though: I live in Vegas, I build casinos for a living; the point of his loop isn't to be economically viable. The goal with this project was to demonstrate the Boring company's ability to dig the tunnel for cheaper than any other company in the world. This is a tech demo. Elon is 100% using this as a demo for his several companies; this is advertising, not a product. He wants to cram people into automatic Teslas in controlled environments so they have a taste of what it's like to be in a self-driving car without the concerns of those pesky kids with soccer balls running in front of the vehicles. He wants you to show up at the TESLA tunnel, get in a TESLA car, and let the TESLA car deliver you to your convention hotel destination while you get hammered on alcohol and generally pretend you're not in a literal car. The subway is the better plan. We *ASKED* for a subway from our state government. They gave us a fucking advertisement for Telsa and the Boring Company's drilling tech.
The residents of Vegas legit thought the Boring company couldn't finish the tunnel; it was a strong consensus. iirc Musk came in with like 60% what everyone else bid for the tunnel digs, and that was one of the only reasons the project got started. Now it's a government funded (tax abatements) advertisement for Tesla. Elon played this shit really, really smart. It's not about making a cost effective mass transit system, it's about getting you to accidentally test drive a Tesla on the taxpayer's dime.
The idea that taxpayer money (not to mention the physical land itself) would go towards this failure of a tech demo instead of investing in a proven system that's been working for decades and has shown direct ties to economic improvements across the board is so utterly baffling to me. There is no meaningful upside to this loop over a subway, and is objectively, demonstrably worse in both concept and execution than proper rail systems. FUCK, I hate the Loop so fucking much.
Except ... his tunnels were not even cheaper ;) It's amazing how the wilfully ignorant media and out-of-touch politicians basically feed this con-artist since more than a decade. He is literally cashing in on overpromised subsidised projects all over the planet while dozens of other companies could have done way more useful stuff. We here in Germany are even ignoring evironmental standards (groundwater protection etc.) just to enable his dumb factory here that will possibly never fulfill the overblown promises he made (and in fact are just a competitor for German companies that would bring in more tax).
@@Xul Yeah, Cornon Husk is not an inventor. Unless you count market manipulation, hiring actual smart people to build all of your big-boy toys while dancing on any damn law in any damn country he pleases and flaunting it - to boot - and he is never even touched. You see kids, Pilon Rust has lots of money. Like, a lot. Research how he got it using the web. Afterward, you will need a doctor's appt. friends with money, buying into startups at just the right time you could probably just say insider trading and brush by all this.

How are you going to get kayak through the metro? Do people not do outdoor activities in europe? Train doesn't solve everything you need a car sometimes in the us. We like to do things that require large equipment
@@PaendaTube You realise that a single train route decongests existing roads far more than a single lane of cars ever will, right? (tunnel or not) It's not like roads will cease to exist because someone built trains; in fact those roads will become more usable.
@@PaendaTube You can rent kayaks in europe. You know at the places that have lakes and rivers. And if you go kayaking and do outdoors stuff so frequently that you have your own stuff then you are already using your car, which has not stopped existing in the mean time. The hyperloop wont accomidate cars with shit on the roof anyway lmao.
Actual real-life tunnel engineer here. Elon Musk and the Boring Company spew lies and nonsense about cost, design, and tunneling capabilities. Also, you'll notice that if (or when) one of his Teslas catches fire in their undersized tunnels, there's no space to get around other cars on foot during an evacuation. If smoke is dense and you're not physically capable of climbing over the other cars on your way out, best of luck to you. So basically his demo tunnels are not realistic. Costs and impact on surface infrastructure increase when you actually have to account for important real-life safety measures. Furthermore, he talks about how he'll be able to tunnel faster and more efficiently than all of the other companies that have been doing this for ages (as if nobody else had the brilliant idea of just doing it faster...duh). There's a reason why machine operators don't just go as fast as possible - it leads to surface settlement and sinkholes which damages everything above the tunnel leading to lawsuits and massive claims.
I'm not an engineer at all but my layman knowledge through osmosis and, well, basic logic tells me long tunnels are exponentially safer if you're in a train rather than a load of individual cars. Far fewer things to go wrong at any given time. So of course the latter is the genius idea...
@@shieldgenerator7 And now imagine: if the Vegas loop would need to have the same capacity as a subway line, you would need a car every 7 seconds - while the passengers on the stations constantly cross the way the cars are driving according to the schematics. If the boring company can really make holes a lot cheaper and faster - great! Nice way for more subways or even just underground express bus lanes. But cars?
Correct, this is why ultimately if one wants to do 3 D travel you must use the air, not the ground. The ground is significantly more dangerous than the air and even more importantly there is less maneuverability if things go wrong.
So you are telling me, that IF those tunnels ever get used there is a high chance one day all those rich people who can pay for the use of those tunnels and luckily use an auto-pilot and hence have no human driver at risk, will probably die a fiery death down there? I might change my stance on Musk and this project.
We could do with something like this in Newcastle too. Its should be yellow I think. Elon baby. Take a step back, sit on a bean bag, drink tea and leave the new ideas job to 1927.
Most subway lines will have at least one loop around the system. They're a great way of spreading the load and circumventing the problem of having all the interchanges be in a centralized location. The ring itself can have more trains running more frequently with more seats and mostly just serve as interchange between other lines. One of the big mistakes that they've made with the new lightrail system in Seattle is a failure to include such a route and interchanging everything downtown. You'd think that with all the problems we've had with most of our bus routes getting tied up in that area, that they'd know how much efficiency and reliability is lost by running everything through such a small corridor. Fortunately, I think it is possible to add a ring later on, but it's still rather stupid to not make it one of the first routes.
@@draculakickyourass I would say the bigger issue is when your car is being lowered down and another one accidentally drives into that gaping hole and lands on you. Or you're just an unfortunate pedestrian that didn't see it
This reminds me of a little idea I've been kicking around for a bit. You know how you are walking around your house, wanting to go inside? What if, when a construction company is making a building, they leave an opening in the ground floor walls? Then they could attach one, or more, hinged objects to those openings. This way, people that wanted to go inside, and even back out again, could do so with minimal effort. Maybe put a lock on some of them, so you can make sure that only people with the key to that lock can get inside of the building? I'm still working on the name, but I was going to go with "Hyper Holes." What do you think? Want to invest in my Hyper Holes?
my people have been smashing openings in walls and fixing them for generations and i dont see us ever changing for these "Hyper Holes" - i dont think nature inteded us to use something like that...
It’s almost like the inventions and innovations created and improved for over 220* years by insanely intelligent civil engineers are better than the ramblings of a tech grifter who uses Reddit.
the ironic thing is, this supposed to be improvement by the insanely intelligent civil engineers is not exist at all. I mean tell me how elon musk loop is an actual improvement than you know, a subway? which is more better to carry more passenger, more space effective, cheaper in maintenance and cost, and more eco friendly. so I don't know where is the improvement for these inventions and innovation come from?
@@Darkrezta the only possible advantage with elons loop is that you can use your car after the tunnel unlike a train, but then honestly train dependent societies are good things so screw using cars 👍 EDIT: nevermind i think you HAVE to use one of the Tesla's there as there is no way to get your own car into the unground area
It took me 3 months to master the hyperstairs... I was 2 years old. it was a daunting experience synchronizing my forward momentum, my feet and the stair's rapid movement. To this day, decades later, I still remember my experience mastering the hyperstairs.
I'm not sure how anyone who's ever left the house could think this is a good idea. People in populated areas like CA have been petitioning to get rid of Chick-fil-A because the lines block traffic, imagine the line for a single car elevator....
If 100 cars were lined up waiting to be transported down how long would it take? Say 2 minutes per car so you're looking at 200 minutes. What a time saver!
"AI controlled auto-stairs" is the craziest invention waiting to be invented. I can't imagine stairs moving, let alone in an intelligent way. MIND = BLOWN.
Imagine if someone could do that concept but the floor moves and moves sideways. Maybe use them at airports where there's lots of walking to do and space to fit it... (Self Walking Ai automitron)
@@AlbertoTuber Ever wondered how many people will hit their cars on those railings, you know people don't drive like the ideal world shown in animation, not just cars that are passing by, but the guy who want to get on that car lowering thing would scratch his car 5 times before getting in. Furthermore, What animation doesn't show is that, what if some people in that traffic jam wanted to use that lowering thing, they would all start to slowly move towards that, cutting other people's lane and making everything worse. Further Furthermore, if you can't see the obvious, wouldn't a big ass, hole make it worse for other cars to pass by or the fact that there is less parking space because the space that was there is now occupied by this piece of junk, overall making traffic go to shit by affecting normal patterns, as now a lot of people want to cut lanes, have to mind those railings, and some people are just roaming around finding somewhere to park.
Be sure to install an Alexa in each interconnected multi-hyperpod to announce when they are getting close to every cluster station so that the sub-terrainanauts can collect their X Æ A-12's before the disembarkation procedures.
I think what he wants is a subway system but where he's the only person on it and it's on-demand. No staring at strangers, no rushing to get a seat, no walking from connection to connection. But the thing is, where there's independent agents, there's conflicting traffic. In the air, on the ground, or under; it's a people problem, and the only way to mitigate it is to increase the usable space, or to reduce the number of decision-makers. The loop increases the decision-makers and decreases the usable space. Even in an ideal world people will fuck this up immediately; and given that this is our world, the only word that comes to mind is _DEATH-TRAP_
Even if it's fully automated, there is still the ability for a nefarious actor to plant an explosive device in the loop and bring the entire thing to a halt, probably killing loads of people in the process.
@@alaeriia01 ehhh a subway system has the same vulnerability I think, just with a greater ability to control where people are. But it's not like these kind of bombs are exactly common during peace time, so it's not a huge part of the pros v cons for North America. More pressing is accidents, and while these loops are operated by thousands of independent operators who have no idea what to do, a train is operated by a couple of well trained people who do, and are designed to be a lot more easily accessible by other services. (Imagine, for a moment, trying to get an ambulance though all the traffic building up behind the accident which other drivers might not even know about since they can't see the road and reception underground can be spotty. Alternatively the ambulence could ride in the opposite direction of the cars once the tunnel cleared out, but it would be difficult to confirm that the entire tunnel is clear without a communications system built into them. Then they would have to get out of the tunnel by reversing since there doesn't seem to be enough space to turn around. And hey, without that communications system 911 might never even get the call until much much later when the backup gets into places that have reception. All of this is presuming that an ambulance can fit.)
Yeah, that's a common desire of the rich: not having to be around us "peasants" and their transport being on-demand. See also private planes. But of course, it's not a viable transportation plan to try and give everyone their own private plane. Sure, if Elon gets to have an underway transport route for just him and his car, that's nice for Elon. But also, that's paying a huge amount of money just to transport one person, in the same way that a private plane does. And trying to turn Elon's underground concept into something that can transport a lot of people indeed leads to a train.
@@yayayayya4731 this kind of transport is good for premium people who prefers to travel alone rather than in public transport. Especially in America where violence is huge. This is also the reason why I will probably never go to this country.
the plan is to run pipes to your house and charge you for water even if you don't use it. Then we will contaminate that water after we have bought shares in bottled water companies. We will watch the shares of our company go up as you are forced to buy bottled water and can't drink water you are forced to pay for that comes into your home through pipes.
One of the bigger problems I see in America as an European is the lack of train infrastructure throughout the country. I understand that the distances are very very large, but in the same way, if the whole world wants to go green and without using fossil fuels, trains and trams seem to be the best way to move around. Also in big cities people wouldnt get stuck in traffic jams and the fumes of the vehicles wouldnt create a smog and overall air pollution. Of course there are tons of problems that would need solving if sociaty decided to go train/tram way, but its not all bad looking future.
@@afhostie in what period? ROI on infrastructure is like a billion percent, given time. Some roads in Italian cities were made when Ancient Rome still ruled them, they basically only cost maintenance now. Public transit is a much better solution than "Well there won't be money to make so we just won't bother trying", and will make more money than not trying. Frankly I don't see how you can claim that there will not be return on investment. All other countries that use trains and other forms of public transit more than cars have seen increased profitability of regions with one as opposed to regions without one. Or is your comment more about how the average American robberbaron like musk won't care about public transit because it doesn't benefit them directly?He's already engaged in union busting, so it isn't a far stretch to think he just looks upon his fellow man with complete derision.
China is even bigger and has high speed passenger rails between major cities. No reason why US cant do the same (oh wait lobbying destroyed the trains).
@@humanleader184 There's no reason we can't but there's a lot of nuance and trade-offs to the question of whether we should. Almost all metro lines in the US operate at heavy loses and cost far more per mile than other countries. There's also the fact that NYC's MTA has what, 50 billion in debt by now. What do you think they pay just in interest payments? It costs billions per mile in NYC, one of the most dense cities in the US and they still can't make money.
Everyone else: So… it’s like a train? Elon: No no no. It’s more like an underground, high-speed transportation system that’s meant to allow people to commute to and from several destinations throughout an urban area… with a Tesla. Everyone else: So it’s still a train, but one you can only use with a Tesla? Elon: 🙃
@@marioluigi9599 Or the tram could just go elevated above the streets so it doesn't affect ground level traffic, and you don't need to bore holes underground. Like in Mumbai.
@@marioluigi9599 we have barriers which will close the way for cars and pedastrians when tram approaches. And trams are already going on their own sledges, that's why they are considered to be the fastest onground type of transport, because they don't participate in common traffic and traffic jams. You want faster? Use metro or train. Why to invent a wheel?
@@marioluigi9599 I'm amazed how easy some people get personal. I don't hold grudge on kids thou, coz they still need to learn a lot:) But tell me why on earth you wanna let a high speed tram in the middle of a busy shopping street??? And just out of curiosity how fast do you plan it to move? The point of a tram is to connect a lot of short distance stops which just can't be performed on a high speed, coz there is a reason why there are speed limits in the cities. And that's why there are trains and metro for other means 😂 in some cities they are onground too☝️
I am an aerospace engineering student in Turkey, so traveling to America and working in SpaceX was a big dream of me. I am not so sure after seeing Elon's stupid ideas coming out one after another
Elon is using mobile pods to move cars around. So basically you have four wheeled vehicles driving four-wheel vehicles around. Then I pause for a second as I realize that is got to be the stupidest thing in the history of mankind. Cars driven by cars
@@mr.greengold8236 bike lanes allow the transport of significantly more people per square foot than cars, and still allow a personal vehicle if public transit doesn’t make sense for a certain commute or person
You can't eliminate cars because you cannot drive bike or walk during the rain or snow. and you cant ride bike during 30C heat it has no air conditioner. the purpose of car is usually to protect you from the bad weather
@@deltaxcd no. Biking is possible in those instances. There were several studies that found out that the amount of people commuting by bike is not related to temperature. Regarding snow and rain, look at Oulu, a city in Finland that usually has a lot of snow, but the bike paths are kept nice and tidy, regularly being snow ploughed. And also, seems like you forgot about the Netherlands, the country that's notoriously known for its bike culture as well as having lots of rainy days.
Adam, you missed the point. The whole point of hyperloop is that rich people can get their own subway. So they don't need to get stuck with the rest of us. /s
What happens when there is a crash in the tunnel? How do you clear the wreck? How do you get help down there? How do you put fires out? Putting people in an unreachable tunnel where they will drive at high speed seem like a death trap.
Gotta love how urban visionaries are like: "Stop coming up with trains! They are boring and they solve the problems too easily! I'm making money of these ideas so stop poking holes in them!"
This is genius! Shut up and take my money. You had me at high-tech double steel and concrete guides. With such advanced sounding tech as hyperstairs, it's sure to draw in venture capitalists and be a global phenomenom
I was wondering, why has Musks one way auto tunnel no emergency exits? I watched serveral videos and didn't spot any emergency exits. Please tell me that the tunnel is not 0.8 miles long deathtrap?
@@dreamcanvas5321 Sorry, currently they are testing with 0.8 mile sub section. But the Important are there emergency exits? Think about it, if a car starts to burn for any reason inside long tube section this will be deadly.
The last few seconds were really spot on. The entire tech media talked about the hyperloop as if it was a sane, totally genius idea because Musk mentioned it. There's just this idea that we should worship rich people like demigods and the media is pushing this on us relentlessly.
Like my first reaction was "this sounds dumb". My second reaction was: for as long as it isn't my money getting wasted let them do what ever the fuck they want. At least the hyperloop isn't a metaphorical iron lung for the car industry's usefulness. In the unlikely case the hyperloop has something to give. In the most likely scenario nothing will change and the world will still be a dystopian shithole run by Jeff Bezos clones.
Exactly, Elon is an idiot. Dude literally said if you don't wanna catch the cov, stay at home. Idr the exact context but he said that because he was confronted about him not wanting to wear a stupid frickin mask :^) Like yeah sure, everyone has that luxury of being able to sit in their multimillion dollar mansion and not worry about shit. Smh
