It looks monorail at first but if you look closer its not.
I also wouldn’t want to be the forgetful dumb person that forgot how late it was before taking this thing home because those cargo trains ain't gonna stop.
It actually is monorail. It looks like the stabilizing arm is for when the vehicle is off and not moving. It uses a gyroscope while moving for stabilization
The arms connecting the 2nd rail are being used during testing.
It is a monorail, the outrigger is just for testing purposes. It's gyro stabilized. The tech has been around for more than 100 years, developers always wanted higher capacity which is problematic.
