| 摘要： | Occasionally an idea from technology, unavoidably imbued with its culture, crosses over into real life. Tech professionals operate on several assumptions, which certainly serve them well within their own sphere of influence. However, when they try to apply them to big steel machines, which stubbornly refuse to operate outside of their design parameters, a clash of civilizations ensues. Earlier this year, a company called Parallel Systems assumed, as Silicon Valley firms tend to do, that trains are old and therefore useless, and are in need of a single big magic trick to disrupt them. What they invented was a battery-powered freight cart, which, the company said, would revolutionize the way rail works, allowing 40 ft containers to be transported one at a time by two carts each. If it were actually implemented, though, it would eliminate economies of scale, halve utilization, and increase the points of failure from one per 200+ FEU, to two per 1 FEU. |
