1) 43rd Annual Silicon Valley Electric Vehicle Show - I attended the event at De Anza college and helped present our 1/12 scale model. For those that didn't attend, we won an award for best student project :)
2) Bill James of JPods - I came to the meeting with Bill James and he presented a lot of really interesting ideas about PRT including some neat software packages that he uses to simulate network flow of pods, overlay travel time perimeters on city maps, and combine 3D modeling of pod track with google maps. He also introduced a competing technology to Hyperloop called ET3 which I hadn't heard of. Bill promised to get us a length of track and a pod to put up along one of the walls of our warehouse so we can familiarize ourselves with his technology. He also enlightened us on the ways that he is pushing forward legislation in other states to allow for the implementation of JPods.
3) Journalism student connections - We have some connections with students in the journalism department and they are planning to film a series of short interviews with a few Superway members so I have been coordinating efforts with them to set something up.
