Hyperloop: The technology really is that far

Elon Musk brought the Hyperloop into play as a beacon of hope for fast and climate-neutral mobility. Test tracks are being built everywhere in order to chase transport capsules through vacuum tubes. But not everywhere that it says Hyperloop is Hyperloop.

Hyperloop engineers love maps. Then they draw in lots of loops: a loop around this and that European capital and Europe is already a networked metropolitan region. Hyperloop engineers love simulations. Underground, under water, on elevated roads, people race in futuristic-looking, electromagnetically powered capsules that float through tubes. …
