Can you imagine the devastation that will occur when the first one of these runs off the rails at speed?

Looking at the design, they cannot run 'off the rail', like normal trains can.

However, roller coaster cars are designed NOT to come off the rails either.

Airplanes at least usually have the option of crashing in an open field instead of into a high-rise.

These are going to be at ground level in the middle of populated areas moving at aircraft speeds.

And there will be accidents no matter how invincible the technology, as the Titanic proved.
