So, everyone agrees that Musk’s Las Vegas Boring loop is a terribly executed project right? It’s a worse version of a light rail tram.

Grabbing some popcorn for the Muskrat tantrums

How many times did his SpaceX program get ridiculed and now look. I’m excited my kids might actually be able to see astronauts go to Mars!

Regardless of how you feel about him, his projects are amazing and he embraces failure to make the next iteration that much better. Nothing but absolute respect for this guys ability to see the possibilities and not be afraid to fail. I know the end result of some of these tunnel projects will be amazing underground AV logistical transport drastically alleviating the amount of loris on the roads. Nothing is perfect first time around. Ever. But I’d rather have a musk fail bc he won’t stop until it’s perfect than a govt sponsored one where “eh, it’s good enough”

He failed to make the subway that already exists lol

Ahead of its time that would even possibly make it a plausible idea. You need lots of tunnels which are expensive to dig. You need autopilot in order to operate them, which most cars do not have. That’s innovation for you though - sometimes you hit home runs, sometimes you strike out

No I know nothing about it, but “#muskfail” is about as obnoxious as anything his disciples post.

Why does it suck? The white paper sounds amazing, curious to hear how it went wrong in practice

like

Sorry I was talking in categories, but in total numbers a subway probably has millions of breakpoints whereas this has hundreds.

The only issue I see with what you described is people crossing the road, which I'm sure isn't by design, so that needs to get fixed. When these cars are autonomous, they'll be able to maneuver around each other seamlessly and limit instances where maneuvering is even needed.

Literally the furthers that thing from “Muskrat” (whatever that is) but do find it funny when people take any chance they can to slam him. Don’t know much about this project but if it fails, so what?

3. I will be getting offer soon from one of the MNC, In that case what should I do?? Should I resign or go ahead with 2 client's project in my organization??

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
