So it's a simple PBRT pod, that has a grand total of two terminus stations, will run for $20-25 dollars for a 12 min trip, apparently half that of a cab.
It will have a simple guidance system, based on four external horizontal wheels that track a physical concrete barrier.
Two narrow uni directional tunnels, apparently they will have the capacity of a freeway (2000 trips a day?) So basically a grade separated, snow-free, underground BRT track?
For an airport run... eh, fits the bill. But I wonder how this can be upgraded to a multi-station setup. Those require intelligence in

The reason he's not asking for government money is because I think he's using it for his "training setup".
IIRC, he will be relying on Tesla to provide batteries not only for the bods (and maybe build the pods? much simple and no one gives a damn about panel gaps on a bus) but also for the smaller TBMs and muck carts.
And since he'll sell the literally tunnel dirt as "lego" I guess that alone will recuperate the costs?
