Not one to be shy about grand visions, technology mogul Elon Musk unveiled his plans this afternoon for Hyperloop, a system for transporting people from Los Angeles to San Francisco in mere minutes, using aluminum pods which are sent at speeds of up to 800 miles per hour between the cities.
In plans he released Monday afternoon, Musk said that Hyperloop would transport people between San Francisco and Los Angeles in only 30 minutes, using an elevated track above the I-5. Musk is selling the system as an alternative to California's high speed rail. Musk said he was "quite disappointed" with the plan by California to build what Musk says is "one of the most expensive per mile and one of the slowest in the world". Musk said his alternative is both an alternative to flying or driving, and is ideally suited to high traffic cities less than 900 miles aprat.
