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.
The concept art shows both rails being used by a single car but still having the balancing problem. Worst of both worlds.
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.
