I AM SO PUMPED! They say this could come out as early as 2025... Welcome to the future folks.  8)

Finally something that looks promising for the present/future! I like it. :)

No mention of cost. Will it be affordable to take this conveyance?

It shouldn't be more than a plane ticket.

This is what the passenger experience will be like

That would be so cool.

Sounds interesting but I get the feeling that nothing will happen in 2027 and it will either be delayed until the 30s or 40s or be scrapped. I remember when people predicted google glasses to be the next smartphone, AI and other advancements to happen in the 10s which haven't came to pass.

Google Glass tanked. 


Why Did Google Glass Fail?

Why Did Google Glass Fail?

Unfortunately, the Glass failed because the inventors excluded defining and validating the users and what difficulties it was solving for them. Instead, they determined the product would sell itself even without actual solutions or importance, that its hype would be sufficient to appeal to everyone.

There was no unity among the inventors about the core use cases of Google Glass. One group claimed that it could be worn all day as a popular device while another thought it should be worn for particular utilitarian functions. Either way, both assumed that Glass’ publicity would urge users to believe in the product and use it accordingly.

The designers failed to completely define what development they were providing for their target users. Once Google Glass was released, it did not provide meaningful benefits to its first users, a select group that paid to be early adopters. Google Glass did not provide enough advancement for users compared to older technologies making the product a useless supplementation to their daily lives.

You can't compare this to Google Glass lol

Sounds cool but I don’t see it happening. We can’t even afford to fix a mile of road or bridge in most places. Could only imagine the cost of this per mile.

Also what happens if something happens, the ground shifts or something becomes misaligned, and you come to a sudden halt at that speed. G forces you probably wouldn’t survive.

I could see them doing this in Europe. If they haven’t already. They always seem to do the high tech stuff before us.

You sound like the people in the 1900s who thought airplanes couldn't possibly work because it was too dangerous and expensive lol.

Airplanes don’t require precision tubes built the length of the trip, in order to function.

Supersonic flight for passengers would be more viable. We already can do that.

Google Glass tanked.

Wasn't Google Glass like spy glasses?

Sitting in a tube thousands of miles above the ground is more dangerous and less viable than sitting in a tube on the ground.

Anyways, your comment will not age well years from now when we have these as the main transportation source.

They might work for awhile, but everything requires regular maintenance. Which would shut down the whole thing. It would work better in space where you don’t have weather and other things degrading it constantly.

Airplanes only became viable because of a strict maintenance schedule. And enough of them to stay in rotation. If they were built to last, they would never get off the ground.

You’re free to laugh at my comments all you want. I’ve been an engineer for 25 years so I do know a thing or two.

I agree with you completely. All modes of transportation need constant maintenance and have a tendency to break down, and all are subject to weather. This new mode is no different.

I think everyone will laugh at your comments once this becomes the main form of transport a couple of years from now.

Looking forward to it. ;D I’ve been on here almost 20 years, what’s a few more.

In what ways?
