Re: Logistical Challenges
I agree mostly. The speed advantage of hyperloop over best high speed rail would seem to matter only over really long distances -- Los Angeles to Chicago. And its doubtful there is enough long distance travel anywhere on the planet for the economics of hyperloop to work. Note that the US and Canada where high speed rail might seem reasonable have about 50 km total of not especially fast HSR. If HSR doesn't work in economically North America, how is hyperloop which surely costs more going to succeed?
The problem isn't technology (probably). It's economics.
