MONOCAB OWL
 
I look at this and think of all the old rail lines that have been removed ]prematurely].

Up the Row river in Lane County, Broadmead to Perrydale in Polk County. It is even gauge-agnostic.

This would enable continuous two-way traffic, or allow spur lines that don't even need cross ties.

How does it work?

Blue smoke and mirrors, apparently.

Racist Youtube has videos from a year ago and 2 months ago. They all show an outrigger to the opposing rail.

My introduction was at INVENTIONS THAT WILL SOON CHANGE THE WORLD ▶3 @ 10:19 where it obfuscates the outrigger but does have four landing gear. I think the outrigger is for public demonstrations, the one shot at the end may have been empty.

I want to believe.

I wonder if some sort of outrigger shaped like a mild ramp that conforms to the rail, such that another vehicle could drive over it could work? Probably not, but thinking with text.

They could call is a derailleur. :)

I think its lawyers. They know liabilities but are ignorant of precession.

That's the beauty of startups. You do first, and apologize later. That's what Uber did, as well as those scooter companies, to name just a couple. Worst case is you don't have a business, which is the default state of being.
