@dnathe4th @DJSnM We used to have a (lame) open loop hydraulic system, but that was upgraded to closed about 2 years ago

@DJSnM They will, but the hydraulic system is closed loop, so no fluid lost. They do need more power & energy, but rocket has plenty of that.

Promising conversations with @MayorOfLA regarding tunnel network that would carry cars, bikes & pedestrians. Permits harder than technology. https://t.co/0dxrXBOOWy https://x.com/abc7adrienne/status/876114755169079296

Btw, 99% likely to be fine (closed loop TVC wd overcome error), but that 1% chance isn't worth rolling the dice. Better to wait a day.

To be clear, SpaceX is supporting a student design competition for STEM, not trying to build Hyperloop itself. Other cos are doing latter.

SpaceX/Tesla will also do a reference pod to be shown after the @Hyperloop competition. Bonus for all racing teams that exceed reference.

Right move is try both tunnels and flying cars. Otherwise, having 2D streets and 3D buildings means bad traffic forever.

Reasons I like tunnels: you still travel in 3D fast, but immune to weather, quiet and no risk cars fall on your head

@RobertGaristo V much agree. Moreover, there is risk of severe non-linearities in feedback loops causing sudden warming.
