HISTORY
Musk first mentioned that he was thinking about a concept for a "Fifth Mode of
Transport", calling it the Hyperloop, in July 2012 at a PandoDaily event in
Santa Monica, California. This hypothetical high-speed mode of transportation
would have the following characteristics:
Immunity to Weather
Collision Free

PROPOSED ROUTES
A number of routes have been proposed for Hyperloop systems that meet the
approximate distance conditions for which a Hyperloop is hypothesized to provide
improved transport times.
The notional route sized out in the 2013 alpha-level design document was from
the Greater Los Angeles Area to the San Francisco Bay Area. That conceptual
system would begin around Sylmar, just south of the Tejon Pass, follow Interstate
5 to the north, and arrive near Hayward on the east side of San Francisco Bay.
Several proposed branches were also shown in the design document,
including Sacramento, Anaheim, San Diego, and Las Vegas.
European routes have been put forward in January 2016.
A Paris to Amsterdam notional route was proposed by Delft Hyperloop.
A Warsaw University of Technology team is evaluating potential routes from
Cracow to Gdańsk across Poland proposed by Hyper Poland.
As of July 2016, planning is ongoing for a route crossing the sea
between Helsinki and Stockholm in a tunnel.
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) is one group that has been
exploring routes other than the Los Angeles to San Francisco route.
Another company, Hyperloop One (formerly Hyperloop Technologies), has
proposed a route from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

DISADVANTAGES
Non-Isotropic

HYPERLOOP IN 2016
Hyperloop Technologies is pledging to have its first working loop by the end of
2016, while HTT is promising that its version will be ready in 2017. SpaceX is
planning to have its shorter test loop completed by this summer, to help
engineers refine designs for the transport pods. Both HT and HTT claim they'll
have passenger-ready Hyperloop by the end of the decade. Given that the
concept was unveiled only in 2013, that would be a staggeringly fast turnaround.
If everything goes according to plan, we'll be shooting people across cities in
futuristic vacuum tubes long before Google can get its first self-driving electric
cars in consumer driveways.

HYPERLOOP IN INDIA
India is offering Musk's SpaceX a big chunk of land and permission to do the
required testing in Pune, a city 118 kilometers away from Mumbai. The country's
Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said he made the proposal to
Hyperloop's parent company SpaceX during his recent visit to the United
States.
“I just offered them ... they want some road for experimental purpose. I offered
them the Westerly Bypass of Pune connected to the Express Highway.
The idea is they can take an experiment between Mumbai and Pune as a pilot
project," he said. '”It is up to [SpaceX] to decide whether or not to accept my
offer,” he added.
With Hyperloop, Musk has a vision to change the way people travel between
cities. One of the biggest hurdles for his superfast train, which uses air for
propulsion and runs along magnetic tracks, has been convincing local
governments and dealing with politicians to acquire land rights.
