I guess if this isn’t a scam the idea is that it’s basically multi-terminal, rider-switchable cable cars? I don’t see why they’d need to be “autonomous” if you couldn’t switch routes at a non terminal-point (like handling 3 way junctions).
Or is the point of these scams that you get to imagine whatever you want? I guess whatever they did at/for google would be an example.
They don’t give you anything concrete on the website. Must be a “need to know basis” type of thing lol.
I’m definitely not knowledgeable on transport, but since @kristina mentioned it, I found an ok article on Bolivia’s cable cars, which gives a map of the Bolivian system. They do everything in “branches” where you make your routing decisions at terminals, by taking different cars
heres a vid of it, theres a lot of legitimate uses of it in this video. like there are some bits where it would be flatly impossible / extremely absurdly expensive to put a train/tram underground or overground for passengers. the best ones imo are where they take advantage of cliffsides and rock faces for the poles that would be otherwise useless for transportation like with the silver line
