  That’s more about Elon hating mass public transportation. Probably because it involves being close to poor people.

  Don’t forget the “Hyperloop” in Las Vegas, which is just a tunnel where Teslas are driving people around.

  Isn’t that the Loop, not a Hyperloop?

    whatever it is, its a human barbecue waiting to happen with how tight and coffinlike the tunnel is from what i’ve seen of videos.

    Yeah he was supposedly building a hyperloop but we got cars in tunnel instead and our dumb ass politicians took our tax money to pay for it

    Why do you still like him after he has shown who he really is? The quality of his products?

      I didn’t say I liked him. I find the companies he is affiliated with interesting.

  this is a closed system and easier to implement self-driving

  Lol, they tried and it didn’t work well, even in a closed system. There was a whistleblower among the drivers a while ago. They were officially in the cars just to keep an eye of things but in reality they had to take over constantly, and they all had contracts that tried to keep them from talking about it. Oh yeah and they got scripts they had to follow if passengers asked questions about Musk or the project. 😄

  Isn’t that literally what they’re talking about in the article?

    No, the news here is that Richard Branson’s Hyperloop One company is shutting down. I don’t believe that is related to the Loop (not Hyperloop) project in Las Vegas.
