Wow it transports 20 people. ooooh I have an idea, what if we connected a bunch of these together... in a long chain and put them on tracks to make them more energy efficient (and to meet power needs) then ran them along the most popular transportation corridors in major cities! They could even go in tunnels in places like NYC to reduce traffic!
Golly Elon is on to something this time!
@futurebird The tech bros are constantly inventing things that we already have.
@paulc @futurebird
Perhaps the word you were looking for was ‘monetizing’
@paulc @futurebird "what if we made what already exists but made it worse?"
@paulc @futurebird Gibson's "the future is already here, just not evenly distributed" applies also to rich people muffled by their wealth.
@paulc @futurebird They love taking things that have been invented, and are are standardised, and wanting to make them proprietary.
Which is worse for everyone except them, of course.
If they had any actual innovation or actual idea, they could help improve what we have. But of course they don't.
