The Transport Innovation Paradox

Is innovation in transport accelerating or is progress stagnating? It seems that both are popular themes, but how can they both be true?

SpaceX’s Earth to Earth travel, Hyperloop between cities, The Boring company’s 3D underground tunnels, Uber’s Air Taxi service; are these the future of transport, or just over-hyped fantasies? If any of these are going to be viable in the near future, then surely it would be obvious by now.

These technologies are supposed to be just a few years away, but can that really be true? Upcoming videos will explore the viability of these technologies, but first we need to understand how some people appear so certain that this tech is imminent, while others are adamant it will never work.

We must understand the Transport Innovation Paradox.

Source Documentation:
I’m looking to build the source documentation for each individual technology so it doesn’t all get muddled together. So there will be a source and calculation document coming with the air taxi series for example. I want to make this a key part of my series going forward, with the option for people to contribute ideas/data etc. down the line. Something that anyone could contribute to and use for their own purposes.

Discord:
There have been a few people joining the discord channel the last few weeks, so if you have any information/ideas you want to share, or just want to talk about technology, this is a good place to do it.
