Hyperloop - Hackdot

Does anybody else wonder how easily the rotor will slot into the stator at 700 MPH? It looks like pretty small tolerances. Maybe guide rails leading up to it?

I'll believe anything now I've seen the videos documenting the Talgo variable-gauge system. Also, the tolerances in terms of distance from track of the Transrapid maglev are pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised if you can fly an air-cushioned vehicle with similar precision.

This, I thought.
