Hey, I also live in a large metro with a great safety record! Yes, because of some serious engineering. Tons of effort with continual upgrades and maintenance.

Hey, I also live in a large metro with a great safety record! Yes, because of some serious engineering. Tons of effort with continual upgrades and maintenance. First of all, you seem to be assuming that I’m saying it’s not doable. It obviously is doable. But you know, maybe go and read up some of the postmortems of train control systems failing. And easy _compared to_ vision based systems? Sure! But that’s not even close to the same as “it’s easy” > And you say it’s not metro but people here are acting like the Tesla loop is “metro” and can compare/be better/cheaper then real metro by “just have multiple tunnels” I do not know what point you are trying to make here and I’m not sure you do either.

The system here still ran on 80s computers as of a few years ago and has had minimal upgrades. Your missing the point: this was a solved problem 40 years ago and Tesla has decided to reinvent what works, for less capacity, with a far more difficult problem to solve and it’s somehow better? You called it not metro, other people in this thread are calling it a metro and it “will be better then a metro

I never said it was or wasn't unsolved. I also agree with that, and I do not understand how you could confuse what I've said as some sort of approval for Tesla. Like, I didn't say it was unsolved, just that it's a difficult problem. I didn't say their approach was good. And I sure didn't say it's better! > You called it not metro, other people in this thread are calling it a metro and it “will be better then a metro What? Okay? What's that got to do with me? Like for real, you're just making stuff up in your head and getting mad at me over it, and I don't see a point of continuing this conversation if YOU'RE going to keep doing it.
