Yeah, Elon Musk never thought about that because he was busy landing rockets.
Come on.. why do you think he did not think about that?
By the way, curves in the track can eliminate this when they can slide a little. And I can imagine there are more and better solutions.

- kpxxx3 9y agoJust like how all those experts at Tesla had no trouble scaling up mass manufacturing.
- lisper 9y ago> why do you think he did not think about that? Because this issue has been brought up many, many times since the Hyperloop paper was first published and no one has yet proposed a viable solution. > curves in the track can eliminate this when they can slide a little But you can't curve the track. The track has to be very nearly straight or the G forces become intolerable. This is the thing: lots of people glibly propose what they think is a solution, but none of them actually work.
- cma 9y agoElon can get things wrong. He already said after he had announced and hyped hyperloop he had to delay the white paper because it turned out his initial idea just didn't work and he had to come up with a new one. In 2016 he said we would have full level 5 autonomy in self driving cars within two years. That means in all driving conditions a human could handle. That seems exceedingly unlikely. https://electrek.co/2017/04/29/elon-musk-tesla-plan-level-5-full-autonomous-driving/ https://electrek.co/2017/04/29/elon-musk-tesla-plan-level-5-...
