The Future of Sustainable Transportation
summary
Built a working half-mile vacuum tube half-mile test track for Hyperloop demonstration and recently seats humans in a pod, proving the levitated vacuum-coast concept at low scale; autonomy and automotive AI are reused to manage high-speed pod spacing. Developed a tilt-wing electric VTOL design constrained by current batteries to less than 100 km range, and points to hydrogen fuel cells for longer flights. Mars rotorcraft tech flies briefly 90 seconds per flight as a recon tool.
