back in the 80's when I had the idea. Only mine used public maglev instead of hyperloop. You would drive your little electric pod down to the maglev highway, get on and it takes you to within driving distance of your destination.

The finest IDE in existence
My attention immediately shuts off any I have no respect for what that person is saying. Sounds like marketing drivel.
