I’m just saying, we need to find other applications for this new technology. If we just want to connect city center to airports I’d so much prefer that people invest their money on trains which is a solution that can benefit lots of people rather than a just a few riches

Trains are great, but they exist already.

For a technology to eventually become mainstream, usually it first needs to find a sweet-spot where operational kinks can be worked out. Think of Tesla Roadster.

It may add value if you could suggest a more suitable initial application than airport shuttle.
