They tried to make tilting trains in the 70s and 80s to increase railway speed.
They were so flawed you could see the problems in the freaking ADS.
How did they fix them? Not privatization. Giving up on them, turning thr patents over to Italy, and buying them twenty years later.
Any time private companies have improved anything it has always been highly specific and with a lot of government oversight.
The internet was a freaking DARPA project!
