Pretty much.What would be easier is if everyone with office jobs just worked from home then we wouldn’t have to travel at all.
Hyperloop travelling? 'Toys for rich people', JFC.
He is a CEO who has had some brave moonshot ideas, which everyone thought will turn out to be bullshit and the company would go bankrupt, but it seems that it is going to work.
The vast majority of cars with keyless ignitions have some sort of feature in place to prevent it, usually sensors to ensure the key is inside the vehicle before allowing it to start. I think it's also fairly standard to require the brake pedal to be fully depressed as well.Holy shit, that's fecked up. Aren't these cars fully equipped with sensors and shit to prevent this to happen?
I mean the sensors the car uses to drive itself and avoid obstacles.

Also, how can you have these things run with only 1 second intervals. The getting on and of those things must be frantic as feck.The thing is that even if you take all if his ridiculous claims at face value, there's still the question of why not have bigger cars that can move more people instead of tiny private pods. And the answer is that he is a creepy rich weirdo who hates being around other people.

Presumably people will be able to embark/disembark from multiple pods simultaneously.Also, how can you have these things run with only 1 second intervals. The getting on and of those things must be frantic as feck.
But then you still have to somehow cram 57000 people per hour through a system of tunnels and gates when they disembark? It seems like a nightmare.Presumably people will be able to embark/disembark from multiple pods simultaneously.
Any comparison with subway is dishonest and Musk definitely is being the same in his assertion. For starters these kind of tunnels are unlikely to have multiple stops separated by a relatively small distance. Second it is unlikely that they will have a very high number of these 'pods' operating at a higher frequency to compensate for reduction in number of people who can board the same. I am not even going to touch the fact that as it stands the pods are just normal cars.Presumably people will be able to embark/disembark from multiple pods simultaneously.
You misunderstood what he was saying - he doesn't own a Tesla he just drove someone else's. I think it belongs to his butler.Look at abizzz able to afford a tesla.
Being a genius and being an asshole are not excluding. Actually usually go pretty much hand on hand because the superiority complexPeople have bastardised the word "genius". This label has gotten into his head.
To me a genius is Scholze, Witten, Tao etc. It's hard for me to call a businessman a genius for doing some shrewd business, if that makes sense? I mean maybe some of the engineers that work for him are indeed geniuses, I don't know.Being a genius and being an asshole are not excluding.
