The Hyperloop seemed impossible form the get go. It had so many issues that are easily solved by... Not putting people in vacuum tubes
Here let me try to solve all of it's issues:
Get rid of the vacuum idea to reduce complexity and points of failure.
Move track above ground to reduce manufacture/maintenance costs.
Make the "pods" longer and chain multiple pods together to increase efficiency.
Wait a minute... ๐ค ๐
Tech Bros invented the train.
