You get the worst of both worlds, inefficiency of transportation capacity of a car with limitations of driving destinations of a rail.
And apparently even the self driving doesn't even work there (you would think this would be an easy feature to add)
So it's just a worse tunnel then
Ha
it gets worse: the loading and unloading takes several minutes because all the cars have to back out into traffic, so congestion in the tunnel is common. the max speed is something like 15km/h because there are too many cars moving in the system. and the tunnel is too narrow for you to be able to open the door, meaning that in the event of a fire, everyone just dies.
EV batteries fire + narrow place seems like the worst ever combo
How the heck is this project even approved lol
murica, sensible regulations are socialism, please add 5 parking spaces for every 10 square feet of your store, thanks
Is it true that you actually have to add a parking space as a building owner in US? lol
If you have half an hour free, and want to spend it feeling a justified combination of nauseous horror and smug superiority, have I got a video for you!
Climate Town - Parking Laws are Strangling America
pretty sure CO2 + narrow place would be worse
