I do not understand how people don’t understand this systems capacity. Thousands of 200 pound pods giving personalized transport without extra stops you don’t want or need. Lighter pods means lighter infrastructure and lower energy use in a virtuous feedback loop of lower impact lower cost personalized transport.
too much competition from cars, buses and subways. Add Hyperloop, Boring Company, Skyway... As roads get cluttered, that opens a niche for a new infrastructure. In USA it's car monopoly domination. Very difficult to break. Also they need a commercial prototype in metal, a factory conveyor and support maintenance team. Infrastructure projects are pricey, you need billionaires to start something like that. This is a very high ticket project.
This is awesome in almost every way far more significantly than all other road vehicle modes. I wonder what exactly is holding back such a needed revolutionary advancement.
and destined to fail.. One of the most basic mobility principles is "Infrastructure Principle" The Infrastructure Principle holds that any transportation technology that requires its own dedicated infrastructure will not be able to compete against highways, airlines, and freight railroads because the cost of building enough infrastructure to make the technology useful and the risk that the technology will fail to cover its costs will both be too great.
@@spikedpsycho2383 NASA claims that infastructure will last over a decade longer than roadways because there is almost no friction. However... it would put more than 500'000 people out of construction work if fully implemented, especially at 10% of the cost to build.
@@ThankYouESM Even if the United States didn’t already have roads, railroads, and airports, the Dumb Infrastructure Corollary holds that the infrastructure that is most likely to succeed is infrastructure that can be used by a wide variety of kinds of transportation. Roads can be used by pedestrians, cyclists, automobiles, motorcyclists, trucks, and buses. Airports can be used by jets, propeller planes, helicopters, passenger planes, and cargo planes. Roads can be repaired by local labor at minimal costs. Skytran is linear individual vehicles. Chokepoints. Operators have yet to demonstrate how vehicles switch, transition or propel. Magnets to lift a ton off the ground.....are ridiculously expensive.
@@spikedpsycho2383 Well... in that same tone... the vast majority of people around the world ridicule NASA... and ridiculed the Wright Brothers... and ridiculed Elon Musk... and ridiculed Nikola Tesla... and ridiculed many others who proved the world wrong. I've even witnessed a whole lot of so-called experts admit I proved them wrong about various sorts.
@@ThankYouESM that's what they said about hyperloop. Smart infrastructure is infrastructure that contains the technology for whatever it is supposed to do within the infrastructure. Dumb infrastructure is infrastructure that incorporates minimal technology; instead relies on infrastructure users to supply their own technology. Roads are an example of dumb infrastructure. You can walk on them, bicycle on them. You can ride a horse on them. You can drive a car, a light truck, a bus, or a heavy truck on them. You can drive a motor vehicle powered by gasoline, Diesel, steam, or electricity. You can even land an airplane on them. Roads might have certain weight or size limits, but so long as you stay within those limits you can use them for whatever you want. The advantage of dumb infrastructure is that it is technology independent. When automobiles were first invented, the United States and Europe already had hundreds of thousands of miles of roads and streets for them to use. These roads and streets had been built for horses and wagons, but they required no immediate changes to work for automobiles. Don't get me wrong, I'd very much like to see Skytran... succeed. If it's overall infrastructure costs are kept low... HOWEVER if it's capacity per hour is inferior to existing systems, it's not really advantageous. Transportation improvements are economic game changers only if they make travel faster, cheaper, and/or more convenient. Skytran meets what of those criteria...If projected speeds can keep up with dense road, highway traffic it's able to be competitive. but is it convenient if it doesn't stop at destination. And would need drop off points, everywhere.
"1-4 people in one pod" how can it solve a huge traffic of a city with over million inhabitants? If it was a train with actual stops and schedule it maybe could work, as it could accomodate more people in one carriage. But wait! Do not such trains already exist in Japan and Spain? The only diference is that they work as usual non-magnetic trains and they can reach the speed of 200-300 kmh. I assume they do. This project could work only for a village with 1000 people maybe. Or of course you could build it for an elite class of people who can afford the service. Either way It will never solve car traffic problem, you will just build more ugly constructions in the environment instead of those pretty parks you are viewing in the video.
it's basically driving in air. it will be not as simple as it is shown. so much infrastructure needed. it is better go for electric vehicles than this. if maintenance was not affordable it will be of no use.

This looks promising. I hope this will come into frution vs. Cars. This will make cars obsolete
Reliance 🔥
But what about friction from air in hyper loop there is 50%vaccume
Because it is hard to make perfect vaccume in lands that's why I say 50%
@@abhayprasad9580 hyperloop is still idea , it is not reaching 500kmph+ speed skytran looks more realistic and achievable
@@kaiwalyaghotkar832 bro what is the speed of skytran
@@abhayprasad9580 80kmph in city and it can reach 320kmph in Connecting different cities.
@@kaiwalyaghotkar832 but one major problem is all thing controlled by ai if any virus or hack comes then it is dangerous
What's happening with this project. Has it died?
Why isn't this a thing yet?
They are building it first in Israel of course.
