I guess we're going to be playing the game where
any kind of progress gets shat on. Not saying that Hyperloops don't warrant criticism but not crediting the progress is immature to say the very least; and it shows the bias quite blatantly. After all before you can test any kind of turns or higher speeds, you have to test the technology at speeds that are already used in a straight line.
Now my criticism on it is if the first passenger test at
this time is behind schedule or what further developments are in the works to see how they design the system to make turns. Personally I would be more impressed if they showcased a test at higher speeds but in the same breath I understand that the test was probably used to determine how human weight impacts speed and comfort, and whether there were discrepancies between their human tests and their tests with set weights used to represent people.
P.S: I can't wait to pen the response to the ad hominem logical fallacies I'm going to harvest . Not that I'm trolling but I know it's coming judging from the last time I participated in the "discussion".
