Except this is the whole reason Musk developed the Hyperloop concept. He was annoyed at sitting through California traffic.

Ironically, it is California's crappy traditional infrastructure that birthed Hyperloop.

The idea is to build the first one sooner rather than later. Then everyone who wants it can build it.

Sort of like Bill Gates working with China to get the next generation of nuclear energy developed in China.
