Have you traveled more than the speed of a plane?....
Hyperloop One is reinventing super-fast tube transportation which can transport passengers in an lighting speed. It can reach a top speed of 800 miles per hour (1,300 km/h) with a yearly capacity of 15 million passengers.
It
was unveiled by Elon Musk in 2013, who said-
"It could take passengers the 380 miles (610km) from LA to San Francisco in 30 minutes - half the time it takes a plane.It is essentially a long tube that has had the air removed to create a vacuum.The tube is suspended off the ground to protect against weather and earthquakes."
This system uses electric propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo
vehicle through a tube in a low pressure environment. The autonomous
vehicle levitates slightly above the track and glides at
faster-than-airline speeds over long distances.
How Hyperloop one works:
The Passengers make a reservation on their phone, an autonomously driven, box-shaped Pod would show up at their location. This pods would drive through the city alongside regular car traffic and also be able to operate autonomously away from the pressurized tubes, meaning they could travel on regular roads.

"Pods have room for 6 people. The pods are contained within a transporter, a pressure vessel attached to a chassis for levitation and propulsion that can accelerate the transporter to 1,100km/h. Pods will have Different interior environments and seating arrangements offer passengers, a travel experience tailored to their needs, whether traveling solo or in groups, for business meetings or casual trips."
Hyperloop One's first open-air test in the Nevada desert in May featured a metal sled shooting down a train track at a little more than 100 mph. Hyperloop One says in 2017, it plans to show off the full-scale prototype it’s building in Nevada.
