    this was literally in a french pop science magazine called Science & Vie Junior back in 2008-ish? They literally talked about it back then, and since then it went nowhere BECAUSE ITS FUCKING STUPID!

    The best part of these renderings is that the public transit solution has not even fixed traffic

      In a world where this gets built, it’s not even public transportation. It would be an overpriced country club form of transportation for the wealthy to get around faster than the plebs.

        Maybe in the first 10% of the video, but from about 10% on to 75% when they stop showing cars the traffic is either stopped, or so bumper to bumper that without their unreasonably well-flowing rendering of a traffic circle and street it would be gridlock due to volume.

      It uses a gyroscope to keep the right side up. This is a flawless concept. /s

    I enjoy the fact that there is a driver at the helm of this whoopie cushion of a transit system. I wonder what’s going on in his mind
