Five years ago Elon Musk wrote a white paper proposing an
alternative to slow, expensive transportation between distant
cities. The idea was to replace air travel and trains with a
Hyperloop, a 1,000 km per hour (or 600+ mph)
passenger pod shooting through a tube hundreds of mile long in a
vacuum, so no air resistance – levitating in the air so it avoids
any friction.
My guest today is Matt Jones, senior vice
president of software at Virgin Hyperloop One, the
leading developer of hyperloop technology. With Richard Branson now
as the company's Chairman, and a fully functional hyperloop segment
at their Nevada development facility, Virgin Hyperloop One is close
to bringing this vision to reality around the world.
We explore how the hyperloop works, and how it will transform
the way we live.
