notarobotUpvoting for trying to solve a problem, but this will ultimately fail in its goals.
The problem here is not that "car traffic moves too slowly," the problem is that there are too many cars. The solution will be in redesigning cities to be less car-dependent, allowing people to live within cycling distance of most of their needs, and invest in mass transit.
If anything, this project will deffer funds away from transit and planning solutions that would solve the problem.
newtboyOk, I'm nit picking, but you don't accelerate at mph, acceleration is measured in mphps (miles per hour per second).
"It can accelerate pods at up to 200 mph."
Not a good sign in a press release from a physics intensive tech company.
TheFreakFeels like the new Monorail scam. This will end in tears.
soulmonarchI want to know what they are smoking if they think that ~9g of acceleration is going to be tolerable or safe for the general public.
Trying to imagine a mom and three kids strapped into one of these pods in the family minivan as it suddenly accelerates at 9g. Of the sweet lawsuits.

newtboyServices will be held on Saturday for Mary who died today after being impaled by her dashboard Jesus.
She is survived by her three children and husband, who all have severe whiplash.
