In what direction? People in New York are all walking around reading Instagram, people in Kansas are sitting at home watching Fox News. Which group consumes more is not clear to me.
You wouldn't use drug money for spy satellites, they're happily paid for by Congress. Drug money's for stuff you don't want tied back to the organization - assassinations, corruption, etc.
I like the idea of transporting cars with passengers or just cars/SUVs. That would be ideal. Travel from point a to point b like a ferry. Or extension of our current super highway network. Use your personal transport machine after arrival. In most of the USA when traveling outside the dense urban areas driving a automobile is the preferred form of transportation. It would make the world a smaller place much like how cars and paved roads did 100 years ago. If we could hyper transport our vehicles at large chunks of distances say 300+ mile integers. I could only imagine this future.
Freight shipping would greatly benefit. Build a freight tube only across the US mainland. Amazon Prime? Same day delivery.
It's actually really stupid. Car sharing models mean you'll have a car waiting for you at the destination. There's no reason to bring your own steel and rubber.
What is Car sharing models ? It's simple and could be the best use of this technology. Make all the US superhighways major and key corridor stretches hyperloop. Enabling you as a driver to get around the country faster saving energy and time.
