How Elon Musk's 700 MPH Hyperloop Concept Could Become The Fastest Way To Travel

Countries in Europe and Asia are filled with high-speed bullet trains, bringing passengers from Paris to London or Tokyo to Kyoto within 2.5 hours. But hyperloops could bring passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 45 minutes. Elon Musk introduced the concept of the hyperloop in 2013, but the US still doesn't have one. So what's the holdup? It all comes down to technology, money, and construction. Virgin Hyperloop is on its way to developing the first hyperloop, testing a 107-mph run in November using maglev technology.

How Elon Musk's 700 MPH Hyperloop Concept Could Become The Fastest Way To Travel

"Countries like Europe and Asia"

These are not countries.

[thomaskoning]

Imagine humanity spending their military funds on civil technology.

[existnt]

I thought the whole point of high speed rail was to avoid being locked in a pressurised metal cylinder!

[rugs]

Ahhhh it’s almost like a worse version of a train. Good job Elon

[Sinancan]

"This technology could make working and living in 2 different cities a norm" - 100 Dollar one way ticket. Sure

[saniwada]

Elon musk didn’t invent the hyper loop idea, it was created by Robert Goddard in 1904. That’s why musk hasn’t copyrighted the idea.

[iononionunion]

this is what we call overengineering. create expensive pet projects with no scalability for a problem with a much easier, cheaper and efficient solution.

[gerogi.]

28 Passengers? Wow! I mean imagine that much in one train. And yes, building tunnels able to hold 99% vacuum over multiple kilometers, way better than a two lines of stupid metal. Definetely the future

"This technology could make working and living in 2 different cities a norm" * Laughs in Latin American *

[hlex]

Can't wait to come back to this video 10 years later and say "Boi, they were wrong! "

[Cozmiku]

Tech crunch just posted an article yesterday stating that Hyperloop one is shutting down.

[rishabhraj]

“Countries like Europe and Asia”

"EnGlAnD iS mY ciTy"

[jodybingo]

You need better journalists who actually investigate the work they produce.

[airiusadam]

And when the train stops in the middle of the tracks, safe to say its going to be "breathtaking".

[_yar]

My country still upgrading to simple modern trains: *how about 50 years and it will be here*

[barnabyg]

Why do we need a $100 one way ticket to live in another city when Teams is free and already on my laptop?

[tylerdavis]

"Available in Ten years"
-Also what they said 10 years ago

[MeepRamsay]

God. Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to be on that train and then the power shuts down or the train stops or something? You'd be stuck in over a hundred mile-long tunnel that is almost completely airtight.

[sadgiraffe]

Wow a less efficient and eay more dangerous train.

[thedubwhisperer]

Well this aged like milk in the sun...
