A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That looks horrible. Cramped, the giant windows means it's hot and the sun is always in your eyes.... Any reason they need to only use one rail? We already have road & rail buses, trucks, etc...just use those.
They use one rail so they can pass each other on single line tracks. Which are quite common for rural lines.
If only there was some sort of article you could have read.
At least this one certainly can't pass each other on one track.
They explained that one in the article as well.
This is a prototype so it has the mechanism so it doesn't fall over if the prototype fails. The actual production version won't have that. It's also running at low speed for the same reason.
