Hyperloop could disrupt more than just travel (Video)


The revolutionary concept of a modern transportation system – Hyperloop – was first mentioned by Elon Musk in July 2012. The invention promises to form the basis of a so-called fifth mode of transport, allowing passengers to reach remote locations in high-speed pods that could theoretically beat even floating vehicles. language. maglev train.

Of course, there’s still a long way to go until Hyperloop technology reaches a stage of commercially viable development followed by widespread worldwide adoption. However, the engineers and scientists working on this project believe that the idea has a lot of potential to become a reality sooner than you think.

The first models were tested in the real world, on a real track, with human passengers. The following video discusses the latest technology and innovations behind Hyperloop, and also discusses how this transit-based transportation network can redefine the economies of entire continents. :
