They use one rail so they can pass each other on single line tracks. Which are quite common for rural lines.

If only there was some sort of article you could have read.

They explained that one in the article as well.

This is a prototype so it has the mechanism so it doesn't fall over if the prototype fails. The actual production version won't have that. It's also running at low speed for the same reason.
