Elon Musk’s Vegas Loop project racks up serious safety violations — Workers describe routine chemical burns, permanent scarring to limbs, and violations that call into question claims of innovative…::The Boring Company’s tiny Las Vegas Loop is all that’s come of Musk’s promises to build superfast mass-transit “hyperloops.” Workers say its tunnels are packed with chemical sludge.
How someone is calling this innovation is beyond me.
And transporting people in individual cars is the least efficient use of a tunnel. Even his original idea sucked, where a car is placed over a platform.
https://piped.video/watch?v=5WAez2n2lSU - that’s what I call innovation.
It’s the most Los Angeles solution to a problem I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile London has had its underground trains since 1863.
Carbrains keep reinventing the wheel with individual cars, the hyperloop stans also like to hype their innovative idea of automating cars to link together on highways to “streamline traffic and achieve better speed”
Don’t you dare call it a train, they will fucking melt down on you.
I thought hyperloop literally sucked vehicles through the airtight tunnels. :-)
Well, yeah, but both maglev and vacuum are high maintenance. Doing both seems like asking for constant downtime due to failures.
