You can absolutely accelerate this fast if there are no people on board. China probably wants safe autonomous cargo trains at some point.

What about eggs lol

Autonomous 500kph cargo trains would be fantastic.

Why would they transport eggs this way...? Fast (expensive) cargo trains would be used for valuable products. For example minerals, metals, computer chips.

Have you seen the price of eggs?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago

That's a US thing. Also, have you seen the price of everything?
