I don't see any rails in the image?
Top left, the rest are magnetic rails under the red line
If it's not steel on steel it's not a tram.
Ok that's awesome. I didn't know something like that existed.
So, the tram has tyres? Like a bus?
Or is it maglev, which would be nice?
SoI I'm guessing it could be replaced by a 5$ GPS reciever
the magnets don't directly move the vehicle, the field it generates is just measured by the sensor on the car to be able to get reliably accurate position data iirc
gps definitely can't provide that level of accuracy reliably
or like, the same fucking wires used for robot mowers
