Decepticons, DECEPTICONS! I warned you guys there was trouble!

(whithout cheating)
Every time I see one of these impressive achievements, I'm reminded how body fantastic humans with their millions of years of headstart are.I for one welcome our new robot pen-twiddling overlords.

:lol: You're a very naughty boy. [/]Calvin, Mr Freud would like a word with you.
Which is not necessarily an advantage, e.g. it's a disadvantage in a head-on collision.
And yes, my point is that there is already viable high-speed public transport in Germany, in the form of ICE trains. However, even the Chinese who run the only commercial line anywhere in the world are building conventional railways everywhere and not maglev lines.
Well, it is possible to build regular trains tracks elevated, too. It just isn't done because it's too expensive. They did it with the Transrapid exactly because of it's speed.I kind of like the maglev trains for their speed and for some practical reason. Committing suicide is harder, running level crossing is impossible and the largest animal you will encounter on the tracks is a goose or some other bird, so with these out, there is a lot less chance for delays. Also these should work in the snow
Even the ICE reaches its top speed only on very few sections because we didn't build the infrastructure as well as the trains. Plus, it stops so often an even faster train would probably be pointless.And yes, my point is that there is already viable high-speed public transport in Germany, in the form of ICE trains.
Terminators will someday be real with creations like video!

Which is not a speed worthy of being called "high". From my Eastern Ruhr Area point of view, there's exactly one destination (Berlin) where the ICE can take me faster than I can drive myself - and I do compare it to the usual 130 kph recommended speed on German autobahns. High-speed train my ass.The ICE however can run upto 200 km/h on normal tracks.
