    That's a little deployable arm that presumably allows it to travel faster. When it needs to pass, that can come up.

      Oh God that's even worse. Guaranteed collisions via an unnecessary slow-moving part that is assumed to always function correctly.

      Rail comes in pairs already so that you only have to build one engineered area, tunnel, bridge, etc. This is a bazinga idea.

        if you read the article, the bar is a safety mechanism for the prototype/testing stage and would not be in place on the production run.

        these test models are equipped with extendible "catching devices" that keep them from tipping over in the event of a mishap

          Yes I read the article and that ambiguous language doesn't challenge what I said.

          This is a really bad idea. The kind cooked up by academic transportation grifters looking to take a pile of money from the government to do a bad idea with the right buzzwords. This is how the bazinga industrial complex works.
