Nope, it’s a Spotify alternative made in France which emphasize on paying a fair share to the artists and providing a great music quality.

You're talking about a 70's prototype, but that does not mean it would need a kerosene turbine if it was made nowadays. Actually, the Aérotrain S44 used a linear electric motor.
A train brakes by blocking the wheels on two relatively small rails, and the wheels can lose traction.
An aerotrain reverses its propulsion, using it as a brake. No slippage possible here.
It can also bite the rail, having a way bigger braking surface, as well as having an interface dedicated to braking directly on the rail instead of a brake on a wheel on a rail.
And in emergencies, you can even stop the suspension and let the aerotrain rest directly on the rail to brake. That's a bit brutal and causes damages (at least back in the 70's), but that stops the Aérotrain quite fast and is way better than derailing or hitting something.
Taking the french Aérotrain advantages:
- Higher speed (due to inexistant rail drag)
- More comfortable
- Less noise
- Faster braking
- Way cheaper rails and maintenance (just concrete rails that don’t get rolled on, no steel)
- Rails can be easily elevated, taking less space on the ground and avoiding intersections with roads as well as landlocking. Basically, you can cross fields without bothering farmers too much
You want to use the "throw everybody out and see what happens", and you claim how much better things would be under your governance.
You're talking like a Elon Musk wanna-be, even using shitty metaphors that mask all the complexity of the problems, and the cruelty that these kinds of decisions imply.
You want to throw 20k employees out without any consideration for the economic and personal consequences, not to mention all the other companies around who will see their business sometimes heavily impacted.
All this to make a stupid metaphor. You're 14 at best.
I'd say too sparse and no user friendly mobile app. Having your friends all in the same place and being able to join them just by downloading an app using an already available store on your phone does wonders
