All those transportation projects/ideas are complete BS anyway.

We all know by now that the future of transportation will be, you stay at home.

2022, on The Earth planet, the Sapiens species is the the most abundant and geographically most widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and large, complex brains.

Humans are apes, superfamily Hominoidea, you can understand how they behave by observing how they get organized and managed: highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states, and social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which all seek to enhance human societies, ....

... however there is a bug ... there is no collective consciousness, and the more technology improves, the less empathic communication is something that really works, especially when it's replaced by the internet, which is not at all able to manifest it at all.

High-tech
low-life


Yeah, cyberpunk is real, fools believe it's a only video game theme. It's on everybody eyes that the advanced development of technologies beyond imagination reflects social crises and an inability for people to get benefits from the progress.

Which brings us to what we are doing to our Planet, as well as what Mr.Vladimir Putin is doing against his brothers.

A repeat of history. Humans are this way, and due to their bug they are potentially extremely good at killing each others, extremely good in wasting resources.

Like a virus.

The system of ocean currents called the southern reversal of the Atlantic circulation (AMOC) is at an all-time low for the last 1600 years, a slowdown that could have consequences on extreme climate. And  it's all Sapiens species fault, due to the unbridled consumerism.

Likely, in 2200, Aliens visiting Earth will see something similar to a perfect city with perfect AMOC, perfect resource recycling, perfect buses, perfect sewage systems and perfect aqueducts, perfect urban plans with very high efficiency of the management of the resources (ironically like Leonardo da Vinci painted in 1501, during Renaissance), and it will likely happen only after the extinction of humans, when A.I. will be merged with the humans or when evolution will introduce the ultra-sapiens, who will replace the sapiens species.

The Neanderthals got replaced for a similar reason. They are too many Sapiens on the Earth planet, and the most of them are too limited, chaotic, heedless of order, and in a swarm there is no swarm every individual primary thinks only about him/herself.

No collective conscience, indeed even talking about it seems like a communist discourse, another great failure, failed precisely for this reason.

That's a serious Bug, and when resources are limited, with too many individuals competing for limited resources, well ... this kind of bugs can't survive too long.

Sapiens emerged in Africa around 300K years ago, migrated out of the continent, gradually replacing local populations of archaic humans, the it began exhibiting behavioral modernity about 160K years ago or possibly earlier.

Hope the new species will do it faster, harder, stronger and better  :popcorn:

Oh, about their being so proud; Humans claim they are one of the few (the only?) animals / beings able to self-recognize in mirror test: well, two A.I. and a couple of dolphins have already successfully passed the test  :o :o :o


p.s.
Empathic Communication implies Theory of mind, therefore defectives implie its deficits (autism spectrum disorders, people with schizophrenia, people with nonverbal learning disorder, ...), more and more frequently diagnosed, which means the Human Mind *must* evolve to survive the future.

   People LOVE Delusions!  Or, maybe should say:. 'Controlled Delusions', where you know it, you keep your major money out of it, sit back and dream.
   Watched that Musk SpaceX booster come down backwards, landing on PAD, shutting off and smoke cloud dissipated.  Awesome, truly, to the point of looking 'FAKE'.

   MARS Helicopter, sounded like fake-hype. 
   But it looks like the financial side of projects gets bogged down, works but not overall success.
   Watching that booster land, BACKWARDS...priceless and not a dream.  Also, hilarious and off the scale, in terms of NASA 1964 thinking.

I don't find this idea particularly funny myself, and yes, I'm kind of afraid that I am right about it.

At least it would save on a lot of the fossil resources and polution. The past couple of years have shown this. People staying at home, no airplanes in the sky, less pollution, but the down side a lot of social disturbance.

As an introvert have not been bothered by it to much. It was how my life has been for the past twelve years or so, when I decided to leave the rat race.

... however there is a bug ... there is no collective consciousness,

That is what I think too. In the Netherlands they had this infomercial stating "a better world starts with you" but even though we, in our hearts, all know it, we don't want to know it and certainly don't want to make real sacrifices for it.

I wrote similar things before and you are right, it gets you branded as a communist or idiot. The human race has to get its act together and change drastically if it wants to stay in existence. And I don't mean the energy transition to renewables, I mean look into a sustainable way of living where money is no longer the big almighty god it is now. Stop the over consumption and needless production of all sorts of rubbish.

But I confess to be guilty of owning multiple scopes I don't really need, a lot of development boards I don't really need, a lot of computers I don't really need, etc. Yet one needs a hobby because otherwise what is the meaning of life.

we wont need any transportation. covid, monkeypax , air pollution , enormus fuel prices, electricity shortages will all mean we stay home, in the dark , gasping for air that hopefully doesn't contain some mass-extermination virus.

I saw the video I don't think drivers would like thought of these things on the road that will overtake/understake them, serve around and cut them up around roundabouts.

Well I think they would literally cut the vehicles up by slicing and dicing through them (that's what it looked like to me what was about to happen in the video) but as Thunderf00t put they would collapse before it got near turning but of course I expect the whole idea to collapse before a prototype was made.

When a car breaks in the middle of the road, you call a tow truck and... Bob's your uncle.
But when one of those things would break in the middle of the road, what would happen? Road closed for untold amount of time?

At this point I'm guessing that it'll release a thousand little flying drones, each powered by a battery with a hundred times the capacity of the state of the art batteries. These will fly it away to the depo, which is hovering above the clouds, and is powered by fusion reactors, where it will be serviced by Tesla robots who'll shoot lasers out of their asses at it, just for aesthetic reasons. The whole thing will be controlled by a sentient AI running on a quantum computer and be voice commanded and IoT and 6G and will use algorithms to algorhite.

Now I've said enough buzzwords, quickly, throw your money at it!
Believe it or not, pointy haired people do exist!

And yet they still put in provisions for a driver :-DD

And it must have traffic lights on the back plus the supporting laws to back it, to make cars stop to let it pass under the bridges 8)

Ever tried to use the weaving technique when a road changes from three lanes to two lanes, and continue using the third lane like it is supposed to until the end. Good luck getting in.
