Virgin Hyperloop One has expanded its relationship with Saudi Arabia, with the two announcing plans to develop a new test track in the country's west.
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HyperloopTT, HTT) and Dar Al-Handasah (founding member of the Dar Group) will bring the Abu Dhabi commercial hyperloop system to reality in 2019. Construction of the Hyperloop commercial track is targeted to beg
Elon Musk says the Boring Co urban loop system would have 1000's of small stations the size of a single parking space that take you very close to your destination and blend seamlessly into the fabric of a city, rather than a small number of big sta
Although we're yet to see a Hyperloop system hit its promised subsonic speeds, it is full steam ahead when it comes to route-planning and feasibility studies.
Elon Musk's Boring Company started its initial digging on SpaceX property in Hawthorne, California, so it comes as no surprise that the venture might find its way to the Tesla factory in Fremont.
It's really just a collection of existing transportation and industrial technologies. It's a chimera, part elevated structure, metal tube, bullet train, pressure vessel, and vacuum system, all smooshed together. The challenge is integrating them
Within the next two weeks, the White House could unveil an infrastructure proposal.
Maryland has given transportation pioneer Elon Musk permission to dig tunnels for the high-speed, underground transit system known as a hyperloop that Musk wants to build between New York and Washington.
Despite recent progress on Elon Musk's radical Hyperloop system, tests have so far fallen short of the 700 miles per hour it's said to achieve.

The Boring Company released a statement following Musk's tweets saying its talks with officials should lead to breaking ground on a tunnel "later this year."
Considering that just four years ago it was an idea cooked up by a busy billionaire in his spare time, today the Hyperloop is gaining serious traction in all corners of the globe.
Forget planes.
