hyperloop will not solve this problem just as any FIXED point transportation system cannot. Autonomous driving will serve far more people where they want and when they want than any fixed point system. Autonomous buses can move people in large numbers and is infinitely adjustable to changes in usage patterns
Now it might be possible that something like this could reduce the need for short hop flights. Even if it did not I would put both end points onto existing airports to take advantage of the existing infrastructure that already serves them.
tl;dr fixed point to point fails long term
- dgoldstein0 11y agoI don't think it matters which one is better - each has a niche to fill. I would much rather hop on a train and be in LA or Seattle in an hour, than get a self-driving car and be there in 6+. But for short distance, cars or a slower, more traditional public are the better option (mainly because you can't have high-speed lines to carry people a few blocks at a time)
