The Hyperloop One
Hyperloop One has been in the headlines quite a bit recently, particularly after images of the Nevada test track surfaced online. Hyperloop One, one of several companies developing the technology to
transport passengers between cities in minutes at near super-sonic
speed, has just unveiled exciting first images of their full-scale test
site currently under construction in the Nevada desert, which is set to
become the first operational Hyperloop system in the world some time later this year.

While it’s only a third of a mile (and has yet to be tested using
actual pods or undergo public trials) the track is the first full-scale
Hyperloop track. It also managed to complete a public trial of its
propulsion system last year.

Ideally, the Hyperloop should be able to travel at 750 mph. The five-second, podless rail test only managed to hit 300 mph.Hyperloop, a brainchild of the Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, first
proposed this idea in 2012 and since he open-sourced it, there have
been multiple companies and numerous research institutions and
organizations tirelessly working on the Hyperloop technology.The real problem is how an infrastructure-heavy, point-to-point system
can possibly compete with personal vehicles that can go just about
anywhere–the United States has more than 4 million miles of public
roads–or with an airline system that requires very little infrastructure
and can serve far more destinations than the hyperloopIt seems that thit is still a far fetched dream to come true and it doesn't seem it would take a long time.
