We have a whole thread on this Hyperloop thing and no one has posted this piece of news yet? I mean, something's actually getting built now!
Elon Musk Will Build A Hyperloop Track For Ultra-High Speed Transport Tests
Quote:
Oh, you thought Elon Musk had moved on past the whole Hyperloop thing? That ultra high-speed transportation system he first started talking about back in 2013?
That’s understandable. It’s been a while since he’s said much about it.
He’s still thinking about it, though. In fact, he’s just committed to building a test track for the concept.

Red the rest here:

The track will be 5 miles long, so no full-speed testing yet.
Elon's not actually going to design the pod, though; instead he's building just the tube so that
other people can test their own pods.
Also, that map in the post above me makes no sense. How did they determine those routes? Certainly not based on any actual traffic patterns.
