How someone is calling this innovation is beyond me.
And transporting people in individual cars is the least efficient use of a tunnel. Even his original idea sucked, where a car is placed over a platform.

It's the most Los Angeles solution to a problem I've ever seen. Meanwhile London has had its underground trains since 1863.

Carbrains keep reinventing the wheel with individual cars, the hyperloop stans also like to hype their innovative idea of automating cars to link together on highways to "streamline traffic and achieve better speed"
Don't you dare call it a train, they will fucking melt down on you.
