this was literally in a french pop science magazine called Science & Vie Junior back in 2008-ish? They literally talked about it back then, and since then it went nowhere BECAUSE ITS FUCKING STUPID!

The best part of these renderings is that the public transit solution has not even fixed traffic

In a world where this gets built, it’s not even public transportation. It would be an overpriced country club form of transportation for the wealthy to get around faster than the plebs.

What do you mean? Traffic is flowing well in that image

Maybe in the first 10% of the video, but from about 10% on to 75% when they stop showing cars the traffic is either stopped, or so bumper to bumper that without their unreasonably well-flowing rendering of a traffic circle and street it would be gridlock due to volume.

Yeah, the one that if this were a video simply wouldn’t be a car anymore one frame later.

I mean, I’ve now just checked, and it is a video. It really was an accident in progress. Now I’m just confused.
