Having a HUD with the speed would not be a safety issue though. And eye-tracking could be integrated to safety features instead of a UI (where if your eyes are closed or not looking up front, eventual auto-braking/auto-something could be more assertive with an automated response)

Interesting. You could have that as part of an inter-modal system, where you would use this for proximity errants, and for regional transit, use it to a Faster regional Station (which could be small cabin Monorails like SkyTran or medium cabin monorail) where you go to another station where you...

Hyundai HCD-14 features HUD, eye-tracking and gesture-recognition Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis Concept Interior Demo - Eye tracking and 3D hand gesture recognitio... - YouTube I would like the Gen3 to have HUD for displaying the car's Speed in the windshield (that you could activate or deactivate)...

Wouldn't there be a 10 minute stretch in the middle where you would have very little turning or acceleration, but just coasting along? And if for various reasons the trip ends up in real life being closer to 40-45 minutes than 35, its more of an issue for more people, and a design with...

When they mention a larger design able to carry 3 cars, does that indirectly also mean that this larger version could have larger passenger pods with cabins that could have a small alley and a small airplane-like restroom? (to avoid the Chlorox and Depends solution, and make possible longer...

Heres a suggestion: To make the next version of the Keyfobs water proof, or offer a waterproof version as an option.

In curves would the pod rotate so that the lateral-G is felt as coming from the bottom of the seat? If you are sideways and feel 1G comming from what appears to be down, is it relatively smooth or is there discomfort like you are being tossed around? If so, how much of a curve could be built...

"You Must Construct Additional Pylons!"

"A shorter (and less expensive) test. The route is not a very straight shot, though. 25 miles is almost too short for a real test. At speeds of 150 mph, you'd on and off in about 5 minutes." Make it a 300mph 2 minute roller coaster ride! With twists and turns! ;) Orlando airport to Disney would...

"Anyone who wants to attack this problem is free to do so without any bidding: the whole idea is open-source." Yes, it was a figure of speech for multiple interested parties rather than actual bid, indeed all that want to develop the hyperloop should be collaborating (governments, tech...

The idea of emergency re-pressurization and exits are reassuring. If prototypes are proven and perfected, maybe instead of 'a priori' LA-SF project(as great as it might be for CA), it might be interesting, (potentially with a bit of corporate and crowd-source financing) to consider turning...

There's something Id find psychologically unpleasant. I remember a story in Pearl Harbor about a ship having rolled as it sunk, and people were trapped by the hull. In the very unlikely scenario where a part/piece of pod is broken off and causes damage on the next pod that disables it and...

I dont know about SF/LA in particular, but in many large cities, if your starting point is outside of the downtown area, going downtown where a train station is can also be time consuming. If you startoff outside of downtown in the morning rush hour, getting there can be more of a headache than...

Toilet Solution 1: Small Restroom Cabin (in larger version of the loop, the one that could have cars could probably have a intercity bus like toilet) Solution 2: Depends and Clorox Solution 3: Have a Station located around 15 min mid point (like a subway line with stations about every 250-300...

"What this project need now is maybe a project web site, similar to the one that is used in open source software projects? I do not think that EM and his team have the capacity to absorb all the discussions and contributions available from the thousands and thousands of enthusiasts that could...

I also think it would be worth examining a slightly larger cabin that would be a tad wider than a minivan/SUV that could accommodate an alley to a small bathroom in the back like you have on some bus and planes. Although Ive been on School Bus trips with toddlers that took 30 min or more...

You are having a laugh. The Porsche is not even inthe same ball park, it's still wasting space on an Internal Compbustion Engine with fuel tanks filters pumps tubes exhaust, you still have to drive to the gas station, and do maintenance on the engine. The Telsa doesnt waste space on an...

I am strongly opposed to any artificial noise pollution generator, the EVs should be compared with cars like the most quiet of Lexus and other quiet ICE cars to start with, and then, it there is any difference (because as mentioned both quiet ICE and EVs generate tire noise) then the solution...

If they could pull some sort of cab forward design and slightly push the wheels out closer to the four corners, keep the Model S battery pack and have it look good it would be great imo.

Im looking forward to details because most scenarios and hypothesis Ive seen do not sound like they would be cheaper to build that a high-speed train railway.

I love the fact EVs are quiet and do not generate noise pollution. Imo it is UNREASONABLE to ask EVs to generate noise pollution like a ICE car, so please fight off the pressure as much as possible to create any kind of artificial noise, but if anti-EV-initiative noise is needed, consider...

So in 5 years if batteries are cheaper and a 110 battery is available (ex:60,85,110) for a refreshed version of Model S, someone might have the choice (made easier) to keep his Model S and just sell the 85 battery to buy a 110 upgrade?

Imo Model S is just perfect blend of style, imo Gen 3 doesn't need to be sportier nor less sportier.

People compare Tesla Model S exceptional case road-trip-charging with the regular/weekly/common driving filling up at the gas station. The point many people appear to miss, is that most Tesla Model S owners will almost NEVER use the battery swapping, in fact you dont even waste the weekly "few...

I am happy that the car is designed to make it easy to swap the battery. If only for later on in the next decade when people will want to buy a used Tesla but might want a new battery, specially if the battery tech in 5 or 7 years allows batteries to be cheaper or better. (BTW, I hope...

I had missed that post but the Attachment 23271 http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23271 from gregincal looks *great* indeed

heres a trimed rear and front version, with rear window (hatchback) pulled a bit back, and front window elongated a tad forward, and larger headlights

LOL This is a real objection, right? Not just a joke? I can almost imagine (with a bit of effort and putting myself in another cultures shoes), that being able to spell SEX by cherry picking a single letter from 3 model names and rearranging them in a different order so you could fabricate this...

Exactly. ICE have more parts in the engine block in addition to the radiator, muffler, gas tank, and require more maintenance trips to the garage to change the oil, filters, spark plugs, inspect fuel lines,etc). Plus an electric cable can probably last a century, but the trucks that carry the...

My preference goes to: Model E and Model C for an eventual smaller compact sized (and it doesnt bother me that other companies use the letter E, since its a single letter, the same way many companies could use GT, or SE, LX for trims)

Imo, Hydrogen for cars is a diversion, a Wild Goose Chasing a Red Herring. (Its reasonable to project that batteries will improve, that charging stations will be more numerous, that solar panels will be cheaper, and that photo-voltaic paint is not very far off.)

My reasons - Silence! (and Better quieter sound quality where faint notes can be subtle and clear) - Less noise pollution (to encourage less noisy evironment) - Electric Technology (less friction, less moving parts, less maintenance, less waste[oil, filters, parts) - Less proximity pollution...

I Agree 100%. Gen III needs to enter the Accord/Altima/Camry/Mazda 6 Mid Sized Family Sedan segment.
