If that actually works, I'm fine with it. I don't care that much about the tech... the Paris Metro uses rubber tires instead of steel rails, but it's functionally the same as any other metro system from a customer's perspective. If LA-SF comes up with a "high-speed rail" solution that runs on rubber wheels on asphalt, but has fast, frequent, and reliable schedules, then sure, sounds good to me! That's the key though... will I be able to buy these tickets the way I can buy TGV tickets in France?
