China’s new “sky train” floats under an elevated track, using magnets and AI
Posted by Robin Indeededo in categories: robotics/AI, transportation
The 2,600-foot-long experimental rail is located in Southern China. A typical maglev train glides above its track, supported by magnetic repulsion and propelled by a linear motor. This one, however, moves underneath its track at a speed of 50 mph. It operates about 32 feet above the ground and makes no physical contact with the rail.

After some test runs, local authorities said the line could even increase to 4.7 miles and its top operational speed can reach 75 mph.
