@humantransit wow, those little unmanned electric trams at airports really put this to shame. @alextnewman @humantransit way more use-value from the moving sidewalks *inside* airports @humantransit I've only heard about this, not watched it, and it's even worse than I thought. @humantransit seems like a couple of cuts between 00:40 and 00:50 to avoid showing traffic 🤦♂️ @humantransit @suldrew @humantransit I really want to know how long ago that queuing and slow driving took. Also, those weren't driverless, were they? Lots of people managing the queues and driving. Automated train seems more efficient. @suldrew @humantransit Are you saying Elon musk had an idea that was absurd? Maybe it's all funded by Twitter profit. @human3500 @suldrew @humantransit twitter doesn't have profit, they can't even pay their bills @humantransit I love how they seem to have made the tunnels unnecessarily curvy, so that when this inevitably goes tits-up the city won't even have the option of installing a proper people-mover into them. I was just thinking that Walt Disney invented a better system in the 50s that's more efficient and automated. It would work in those tunnels and move more people 24/7. @humantransit @nigelsezyarr "I tried this and got back an image of the palace of westminster" ;) @chloeraccoon Hehehe. Huh. Someday soon the Canadian Mint will start issuing coins with Chuck's face on 'em. That seems so wrong @nigelsezyarr Remember, the palace of westminister is where the UK government sits, not the monarch... @chloeraccoon Ah! Honest mistake. I've been averting my eyes from UK politics, it seems too depressing. @humantransit @humantransit It's genius. They even put him in a car with complete strangers so no one can say "at least it's more private than a train". 🤣 @humantransit @suldrew really Disappointing that a CES attendee is completely non-discerning when it comes to technology. Sure, they are even more clueless about transportation issues in general, but so are most people. @humantransit it’s very difficult to imagine something less cool (within the realms of urban transport that is) @humantransit that is somehow even more absurd than people just driving their own cars in it @humantransit This is the dumbest waste of tax dollars I have seen recently. I can’t say “ever” because I’ve seen tax dollars pay for a LOOOOOT of stupid shit and the jury’s still out on which one’s the worst. Heise-Bericht: #VegasLoop ausprobiert: Musks dümmste Idee ever? »Jeder Wagen nimmt bis zu vier Gäste auf, plus Fahrer – obwohl es sich bei der Strecke geradezu aufdrängt, fahren die Autos keineswegs autonom!« https://www.heise.de/meinung/Vegas-Loop-ausprobiert-Musks-duemmste-Idee-ever-7451566.html @humantransit @humantransit @malwaretech how long until Elon connects all teslas as a train and calls it a Tesla centipede? @humantransit geez I still can't believe it. The only people who can be impressed by this is the people who have never ride a bus/train @humantransit @humantransit @humantransit One thing these future plans never take into consideration is the heavily inebriated guy throwing up all over the back seat. Not so glossy sci-fi then, is it. @humantransit even a freaking regular bus service would be orders of magnitude more efficient than this. @humantransit this is the F worst subway I've ever imagined. It's even worst in these videos. @humantransit So they built something like a subway but with more personnel overhead and cars? 🤦♂️ @humantransit mf really made a worse subway and people suck his dick because he posts about memes and crypto scams he profits from @LeaveNothingForTheFuture @humantransit I'm honestly not even sure it's a closed system. He shows cars going in from the surface so that implies at least some of the cars drive back outside the loop, probably because there's not enough passenger demand in the other direction. Given that the entire selling point was having private "cabins" I also think him being grouped with other passengers was an attempt to increase throughput, which is known to be abysmal. @alan @LeaveNothingForTheFuture @humantransit This article says, for some connection there is only a tunnel in one direction. https://www.heise.de/meinung/Vegas-Loop-ausprobiert-Musks-duemmste-Idee-ever-7451566.html (article in German) @humantransit I don't understand. It looks like a Uber in a tunnel that's sold like a ride and a giant ad for Teslas.. that doesn't even make them look special. |
@humantransit Omg, this is unbelievable! 🤣🤣🤣
The only improvement I'd make is to use a kid's train instead of the cars. Much classier. And it can go choo choo which is fun! 🚂
