It was a capacity number set by LVCVA (the customer), but yeah. Not much else they can do yet since it's a small system and events that take over the entire convention center are intermittent.

At least provide a comment in good faith instead of sarcastic bullshit, this isn't Reddit.

Here's a source for passing the capacity requirement during a test. Again I'm not saying it's going to work when scaled but so far it seems plausible and was far cheaper than building a train or rail between the ends of the convention center. And it has the wow factor.

The big benefits are supposed to come once the vehicles can skip all other stops and go directly to the destination. We'll see.

It's definitely less than that. The advantages will be when you're able to get in a vehicle and input your destination and it can go straight there without a single other stop. In theory at least. I'm not saying it's genius but it's an interesting concept and I'm curious to see if it works when scaled.

As someone who doesn't understand trademarks, my interpretation would be that's just for the blue and white version. Is that incorrect?

Yep this is huge. I still scroll on RiF sometimes without being logged in, and I had only ever looked at the subs I was subscribed to until now. I'm shocked by how much infuriating nonsense is being pushed by the site.

Sorry to hear, I've never had a bad experience even with a 3070.
