We were all supposed to be in flying cars by now too. Just like we are driving cars that with the exception of technological advances around the periphery, are pretty much the same technology as the 1950's, I would never make the prediction that somehow steel wheeled high speed rail will be eclipsed somehow anytime in the next half century or more by some miracle technology pitched by the snake oil crowd, be it hyperloop or whatever. The American tendency to "always be pregnant with the future" is partly how we are where we are, a movement culture largely at the beck and call of the auto and the airplane, with little options in between.
