SkyTran's Levitating Pods

       SkyTran is a personal rapid transit system first proposed by inventor Douglas Malewicki in 1990, and under development by Unimodal Inc. SkyTran wants to create driver less pods for transportation above the ground. They are magnetic, computer controlled vehicles going 150-200 mph. I think that these pods are a cool thing  but I  don't think it would be very efficient because if there were accidents, that would mess up the whole system and they cost 10 million per mile so to me it seems like too much of an inessential luxury.
