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

I thought the whole point of high speed rail was to avoid being locked in a pressurised metal cylinder!
And when the train stops in the middle of the tracks, safe to say its going to be "breathtaking".
Can't wait to come back to this video 10 years later and say "Boi, they were wrong! "
You need better journalists who actually investigate the work they produce.
Ahhhh it’s almost like a worse version of a train. Good job Elon
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.
My main 2 concerns are what will happen if: 1. The machine breaks down in the middle of the tunnel for whatever reason. 2. Fails to stop.
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.
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
"Available in Ten years" -Also what they said 10 years ago
This is like that scene from the Incredibles. But a longer carriage
Has anyone commented energy required to hold a 99.9% vacuum? Or to install and maintain the vacuum pumps running constantly along the entire length of the tube? That must be a significant challenge and an expensive one at that!
this is what we call overengineering. create expensive pet projects with no scalability for a problem with a much easier, cheaper and efficient solution.
You can ride the hyperloop right now in Las Vegas at a blistering 30 miles per hour!
Business insider reporters need to do some homework. This has been debunked a loooong time ago.
The concept of the train’s magnets were literally a 2012 meme.
My country still upgrading to simple modern trains: how about 50 years and it will be here
