  It lets you build a single Lane tunnel that still goes fast. It lets cars go over the speed limit. It means no need to ventilate the tunnels since the engines can be off. And finally it won't affect your EVs range. It's brilliant!

    Imagine if everyone who used the NY subway brought along with them 4600 pounds of dead weight. Who ever said anything about sustainable transport? Yo dawg, I heard you like cars so we built a car for your car so America can spend billions creating traffic jams below ground just like we have on the surface!

      If you look at cars as a capsule with 'out-of-network' capabilities, it is pretty interesting. You can whether bring local transportation on both side (start or end) of the railway-like network, where walking would not be possible (long distance, no other alternatives...). In the video you have both experiences, public shared capsule (glassed bus) and private capsule (cars) and in that way, you can address both needs without providing too much stations/lifs and still able to bring access to big cities for people living in peripheral areas. It's one solution that can make it, not the only one though, but it's a good point of view of future cities.

  your existing car now becomes your luggage that gets transported with you on your trip to be used at your destination.
