My car unfortunately has low clearance. It regularly uncomfortably scrapes against most inclines. The bottom panels in the front are mutilated. I can't get out of my driveway without worrying that I'm going to bend some pipe unless I angle it perfectly.

There's absolutely no way in hell these aren't as gimmicky as the Las Vegas hyperloop where it's just a circular tunnel that Teslas can't even self-navigate. Maybe this thing can be manually offloaded from a tow truck and programmed to slowly move around a completely flat track, but I could not take it across my 10 minute commute. There are multiple local rail crossings I think it'd get stuck on and the storm channels on our intersections would probably destroy the front of it.

the tunnels don't even have a flat enough road surface for that thing haha

search for "driveway curb ramp" you can find lots of hard rubber products that are built to make your driveway less of a trough
