At least two Greenville County councilmen believe it's going to happen. And soon.

 

Four companies said they plan to file a proposal to design, build and privately finance the system, which, if built, would become one of five in use in the world.

They mention the Morgantown, WV operation as the only other personal rapid transit system operating in the USA.  I believe a similar technology also exists in the Las Colinas complex in Irving, TX.
