    Don’t forget the “Hyperloop” in Las Vegas, which is just a tunnel where Teslas are driving people around. IMO that’s the stupidest and the least efficient use of this tunnel.

    The cars are not even self-driving, and mind you this is a closed system and easier to implement self-driving. So far with his self-driving copium, and robo taxis bullshit.

      That’s more about Elon hating mass public transportation. Probably because it involves being close to poor people.

      Isn’t that The Loop, not a Hyperloop?

        whatever it is, its a human barbecue waiting to happen with how tight and coffinlike the tunnel is from what i’ve seen of videos.

        Why do you still like him after he has shown who he really is? The quality of his products?

      Isn’t that literally what they’re talking about in the article?

        No, the news here is that Richard Branson’s Hyperloop One company is shutting down. I don’t believe that is related to the Loop (not Hyperloop) project in Las Vegas.
