    Last I heard too the cars aren’t autonomous in the tunnel either. They’re driven by real people. The “hyperloop” idea was actually to try and kill the high speed rail project in Cali. Elon is a piece of shit and tried to tank our train, which has helped to extend the project further and increase scrutiny of it.

      Yeah, that was one of the ways people realized ‘oh, Tesla FSD is complete bullshit.’

      If you can’t even automate a car driving in an extremely simplified and controlled environment, like a set track with a 2 or 3 ‘stops’… your FSD is obviously crap.

      The worst part about it is the hyper loop is an objectively cool idea, impractical but fucking sweet, that definitely didn’t originate from Elon. He only jumped on it to try and divert cash from highspeed rail and even then it just evolved into lol put cars in a tunnel I own.

        Not a cool idea, it’s a removed idea, unless we are saying making something super expensive and very impractical is cool, in which case, it’s cool I guess, like a Bugatti Veyron, just even stupider for it to exist while there are children starving in the world.

          Good point I was wrong, I forgot it’s impossible to spend money on more than one thing at a a time.

            There is spending money and utter waste of money, the hyperloop as a concept is fucking idiotic, it’s trains but worse in every conceivable way other than from the standpoint of one individual trying to get fast from one point to another, and much more expensive
