Future of Transportation
| With all of the rumors and buildup to the Hyperloop announcement from Elon Musk next week, designers at Go Compare have shared with us an infographic describing what the system might actually be. |
Next Monday, entrepreneur Elon Musk is scheduled to release more information on the Hyperloop transport system.
In previous discussions, Musk has referred to the Hyperloop as as "a cross between Concorde and railgun." Hyperloop would allow commuters to travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco in a mere 30 minutes.
Will publish Hyperloop alpha design by Aug 12. Critical feedback for improvements would be much appreciated.

There is a lot of speculation that the plans will be similar to the ET3 Transporation system that is currently in a funding and research stage.
Now there is chatter that the Hyperloop will be downplayed by Musk. While on a Tesla Motors investor call recently, Musk said, ”I think I shot myself in the foot by ever mentioning the Hyperloop. I’m too strung out.”
Musk is referring to the fact that he’s already the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and is understandably too busy to build a multi-billion-dollar transport link. Musk did say, however, that if no progress has been made by other people/companies in the next few years, he might try to “make it happen.”
