310-mile auto cargo conveyor will replace 25,000 trucks in Japan

Wasn't the term... Net Zero? Like you can pollute a lot on one end and make up for it 100% on the other?
Yup. Fairy dust, unicorn piss and pipe dreams all rolled into one neat little package.

 

That was my first thought. Disable the system and steal truckloads. There’s no possible way to prevent theft. Heck, bad weather would do it for you.

I can see it working in Japan with their hikikomori epidemic, but not here.

Did you know that Japanese women are starting to pay for sex?

 

I have heard that.

 

But the Japanese have always been a bit eccentric. It is one of their charms.

 

Huh. So, pray, tell, how is this different from putting freight on a rail system optimized for smaller unit cars?

 

They reinvented the train.
