It's the first in the world. It's only 70 meters long.
It should be obvious to everyone here that this is just an MVP.
What better way to prove or disprove the idea? Measure how it performs in the real world, with dirt, abrasions, rain and temperature variation.
Then iterate.
If it's not feasible at all, then you stop.
- lotharbot 12y ago> "this is just an MVP" I think you could make a significantly more minimal MVP than this. A single panel of a couple square meters, for a lot less than $1.5m euros, embedded in a pre-existing path. Maybe a few in different locations around the country. Monitor how they perform. Then if it's anywhere close to viable, move to a bigger model.
- pan69 12y agoOK. So this is one or two iterations after the MVP. You don't go from couple of square meters to replacing all the roads in one step.
- rebootthesystem 12y ago> What better way to prove or disprove the idea? One word: Mathematics. Sorry. Not trying to be clever or condescending. There are lots of ideas in business and engineering that can be evaluated to a reasonable margin of error with simple math on a single piece of paper or, at worst, a spreadsheet with equally simple calculation. This is one of those things.
