There will come a day when a 30-minute commute between Los Angeles and San Francisco will be entirely possible. No, this is not hyperbole, this is Hyperloop, and it will reinvent transportation beyond anything that we have previously experienced.

How" Because air resistance and friction have been eliminated thanks to electric propulsion, magnetic levitation, and vacuum systems. Moving two times faster than high-speed rail, 10 times faster than freight rail, and using less energy than both, the convenience of Hyperloop will do for transportation what the internet did for communications.
The leading project in this new arena is the LA-based Virgin Hyperloop One (a sizable investment from Richard Branson earlier this month added the “Virgin” prefix to the name). Founded in 2014 as Hyperloop Technologies, Branson?s inclusion in this venture is a strategic partnership that will help deliver innovative transportation solutions for passengers and freight around the world. Virgin is only the first of many operators that Hyperloop One will select to operate the technology. After testing the propulsion system on a tubeless track in 2016, the company conducted their first full-scale test at its DevLoop site in Nevada last May (2017). The 28-foot long XP-1 test pod, made of aluminum and carbon fiber, reached 70 mph just f...
