- nickik 8y agoAs with literally every other technology. It starts out as something for rich people and if it proves useful demand will grow, price will fall. Cars were a luxury once. The point is to make tunnel boring cheap and to build an system of dynamic individual or group transport. Rejecting the system because rich people use it first is socialist logic and has no place specially if its not done with government money.
