Editor's Notes
Reinvent transportation to eliminate the barriers of time and distance and unlock vast economic opportunities
Pishevar and Giegel have been traveling the world in recent months, selling its vision of near-supersonic travel to government officials and investors. Despite being based in LA and building its test track in Nevada, Hyperloop One has mostly focused its attention outside the US. The company has feasibility studies underway in the United Arab Emirates, Finland and Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Moscow, and the UK. The company is also eyeing fewer than a dozen regions in the US as possible future locations for its ultrafast, futuristic transportation system.
To be sure, the hyperloop has a host of challenges to overcome before it can claim to revolutionize transportation. It’s very difficult to build anything new in the US, especially something as huge and enormously expensive as the hyperloop. This is an entirely new technology, built from scratch without any of the right-of-way allowances, land acquisitions, or regulatory approvals that other modes of transportation, like the railway, currently enjoy.
To be sure, Hyperloop One isn’t alone in its pursuit of ultrafast, tube-based travel. Another LA-based startup, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, has been much quieter, but insists it is also building a passenger-ready, full-scale hyperloop. Hyperloop One’s ousted co-founder, Brogan BamBrogan, took his settlement money and started his own hyperloop company, Arrivo. And just recently Elon Musk, who first conceived of the hyperloop back in 2013, announced that his tunneling side project the Boring Company had received “verbal approval” from the Trump administration to construct a New York-to-Washington underground hyperloop.
WASHINGTON — Transportation pioneer Elon Musk has been granted permission to dig tunnels in Maryland for his high-speed Hyperloop project, which ultimately aims to transport passengers from Washington to New York City in 29 minutes.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan made the announcement on Twitter that digging will begin in Maryland — the first state to grant a permit to allow building of the Hyperloop, which aims to transport passenger pods at rocket speeds in vacuum-sealed tubes.
The Maryland Department of Transportation has granted a conditional utility permit to Musk’s tunneling business, The Boring Co., to dig a tunnel beneath a 10.3 mile stretch of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway which is owned by the state. Most of the BW Parkway is on land owned by the federal government.
“A Physical Version of the Internet”: How Hyperloop Could Be the Broadband of Transportation

Until the beginning of the 21st century, the only way to gain detailed information about the status of any operating industrial equipment was to be in physically proximity and have the ability to inspect it. Today, increased computing power and connectivity are making it possible to virtualise this task by creating and maintaining a digital representation, or “digital twin”, of any piece of real equipment, and thus of any plant or engine.
“The ultimate vision for the digital twin is to create, test and build our equipment in a virtual environment. Only when we get it to where it performs to our requirements do we physically manufacture it. We then want that physical build to tie back to its digital twin through sensors so that the digital twin contains all the information that we could have by inspecting the physical build,” says John Vickers, NASA’s leading manufacturing expert and manager of NASA’s National Center for Advanced Manufacturing.
