Too bad we're living in 1984

The bottom line is this will happen. People listen to elon and if enough venture capitalists get on board this could happen

I can see it already...A quick 30 minute trip that follows a 4 hour security line - the TSA will really get it's chance to shine then...

In America, it's called 'Copyright Infringement'. People get heavily fined and/or imprisoned behind it. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but when money's involved, things have a tendency to not happen.

seriously though, isn't that the next step?

just wouldn't make sense to have TSA for flights and NOT for the high speed rail

To be honest im almost depressed by this shyt... Real public transport in America? Affordable, energy efficient shipping solutions? maybe in like 50 years.

You would not believe how many train lines there were in this country at the turn of the century. You used to be able to take a train damn near anywhere.

I was an 80s baby so no...but theyve been using it at banks since forever...the idea perhaps came from a toy...but i can assure you the tech behind it is far different. Props on the link however.
