Now imagine if they put it on smooth tracks for its entire journey and it didn’t have to change speed constantly!

I live in the area of this test track. One company uses it with a terminal to a harbour. So the trucks are delivering goods like 50 km from the site to the harbour. There is no space to build train tracks right now because the last steps would go through residental areas. You can look at it Bad Oldesloe to Lübeck. The street is Seelandkai/Seelandstraße.
