Autonomous vehicles have been envisioned for decades and are now becoming a reality. Tests of autonomous driving technologies began as early as the 1940s. Modern autonomous vehicles use GPS and lidar sensors to map their surroundings and plan routes from point A to B without human input. Major companies like Google, Uber, and Tesla are actively working on autonomous vehicle technologies. While autonomous vehicles could help reduce traffic accidents by 80% by 2050, important questions remain around legal responsibility if accidents occur and how vehicles will handle emergency situations through "death algorithms." The widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles will change transportation but also create new jobs and opportunities.
In the coming years, transportation is expected to change dramatically with the rise of autonomous vehicles, flying cars, hyperloop systems, and renewed supersonic air travel. New transportation technologies like self-driving cars and flying taxis are nearing commercialization, which could significantly reduce personal car ownership. Additionally, hyperloop projects aim to enable travel at over 1200 km/h between major cities through vacuum tube networks. As autonomous technologies advance, professions like drivers may also decline as autonomous vehicles replace the need for human operators. Overall, the transportation landscape is poised for revolutionary changes in how people and goods move both within and between countries.

Prospects of Hyperloop Transportation Technology: A Case of ChinaDr. Amarjeet Singh
Hyperloop transportation technology is amongst
the most promising sustainable and climate-friendly
transportation systems of the modern era. Now China has
taken steps to build this transportation system in Tongren city,
which located on Guizhou's eastern part [8]. So far, not much
work has been conducted on the prospects of this technology,
especially for China. In this paper based on extensive
literature review, we have analyzed the prospects of this
technology in China. Furthermore, this article also discusses
the possible hurdles and proposes some suggestions for
overcoming the problems in the adoption of this climatefriendly technology.
Hyperloop offers a potential new mode of high-speed transport that could revolutionize how we perceive distance. It involves levitation pods traveling inside low-pressure tubes at aircraft speeds.

It concludes by proposing future work to improve passenger capacity and safety features.
The document discusses the concept of hyperloop high-speed transportation. Hyperloop involves passenger or freight vehicles operating inside low-pressure tubes, which could enable aircraft-level speeds on the ground. Proponents claim hyperloop could be faster than high-speed rail, direct like air travel, environmentally friendly, and cheaper than high-speed rail. The document provides background on the history of concepts like hyperloop dating back to the late 17th century, and discusses Elon Musk's more recent proposal. It outlines objectives like safety, speed, cost, and sustainability, and explains the need for alternatives to conventional transportation methods.
Nirmal Gaur gives an overview of the Hyperloop transportation concept. The Hyperloop would use magnetic levitation to move passenger pods through a low-pressure tube at transonic speeds, allowing travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes. It works by removing air from the tube and using linear induction motors and an air compressor to propel pods at up to 1220 km/hr. Advantages over existing high-speed rail include higher speeds, on-demand direct travel, and lower energy usage through solar power. Potential challenges include turning, land usage, passenger comfort, and vulnerability to terrorism. The first Hyperloop may be built between Mumbai and Pune in India.
The Future of Mobility - How Hyperloop, Boom Supersonic and Driverless Cars W...Antonio Auricchio
We are now on the verge of a new technological revolution of mobility. Transonic trains, supersonic airplanes and electric driverless cars will have the same impact on our modernity as their current old-fashioned versions had on our parents’. Mobility, or the lack of it, once again will decide which country, company or even person will drive the upcoming changes.
The aim of this Policy Brief is to raise awareness on the megatrends that are likely to transform the shape of our cities and the way we commute.
Hyper loop offers a potential revolution in transport by enabling aircraft speeds at ground level in a point-to-point transport system. It refers to Elon Musk's concept of passenger or freight vehicles operating inside low-pressure tubes, which could enable very high speeds of up to 760 mph. Several companies are working to develop and build hyper loop systems, with the goals of creating a safer, faster, cheaper, and more sustainable alternative to high-speed rail and other modes of transport over medium distances. The first hyper loop routes may begin operations in the early 2020s.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

3. Introduction
Transpod Inc. is the startup which is dedicated to bring the concept of a high speed transportation
system called ‘Hyperloop’ into reality. The idea of this Hyperloop was developed by Elon Musk
in year 2013. At that time, Musk was looking for a transportation system that can run faster than
the existing modes of transportation. Transpod would be able to run at the speed of 560Km/h or
even more. People would be able to travel from Toronto to Montreal in just 30 minutes. Founder
of Transpod, Sebastien Gendron says that their company working with University of Toronto,
with a goal to accomplish this project by the end of year 2020. The company is expected to
present the first concept at Inno Trans Rail Show at Berlin in September 2016. Gendron says that
efforts are being made to provide customers a more comfortable journey than the airplanes. If
perfection is attained in prototype in September 2016, it would still take a couple of years to
bring this system for public use.
Company Founders
Sebastien Gendron, founder of Transpod is an engineer with a background in aerospace. He is an
operations manager, and has 10 years of experience in aerospace. He says that at time when he
found Transpod, he was looking for a mode of transport that can run faster than a plane and can
be more cost effective. Ryan Janzen, Co-founder and CTO of Transpod has a background in
research and development. His contributions have led to many advances avionics, optics,
mathematical theory, and physics. Janzen developed new technologies like swarm modulation,
and extra missive optics while doing PHD at University of Toronto. Sebastien and Ryan are
working hard in order to present their transportation system before the world in Rail show at
Berlin. Sebastien Gendron wants to take this transportation system in Europe and Asia.
According to him this technology has a very wide scope in the speedily developing countries like
China and India. He founded this company with a view to redefine the transportation system
between two major cities in developed markets. The best thing about Transpod is that the
transport system will not harm the environment. Founders are quite positive towards their goal
and are committed to bring their concept into reality by year 2020. Sebastien Gendron, appeals
the people that they should keep communicating about Transpod. People need to trust that this is
actually going to happen what is quite hard to believe. Further, he says that aerospace industry is
helping his company in this project and Bombardier can invest this project if it gets succeeded.
Founders are doing their best to turn that into reality what is a dream today.
Origin of concept
The concept of Hyperloop originated with the idea to provide a mode of transport that would be
safer, faster, cost effective, more convenient, immune to weather, sustainably self-powering,
resistant to earthquakes, not disruptive to those along the route. Elon Musk calls Hyperloop as
the fifth mode of transportation after plane, train, car, and boat. Hyperloop would be as
convenient as road transport, as cheap as road and water transport, as fast as air transport, and
last but not least, it would be eco-friendly. The concept is to mount an electric compressor on the
nose of the pod that would transfer air at a very pressure from front to the rear of the vessel. It
4. would be a low pressure suspension system that would not create a problem while travelling at
the speed of 700 mph. At such a high speed, it is impossible to use wheels. But, a cushion of air
can be helpful in such a condition. Air bearings would work at the speed of Mach 1.1 with very
low friction. In order to make it cost effective it has been developed in such a way that it would
be the pod that would produce air cushion rather than the tube. As long as the energy that
accelerates the pod does not draw energy from the battery pack, there would be no problem of
shortage of energy. A round induction motor would accelerate the pod and provide a reboost
every 70 miles.
As far as the expenses are concerned, this system saves billions of dollars as compared to
railways. The main advantage of the tube is that it can be built in prefabricated sections as well
as above the ground on pylons. There would be no need to buy the land. The only and minor
problem concerned with Hyperloop is that it would have to take turn where highway takes a
sharp turn.
This mode of transport would be free from the risk of earthquakes. As this system would be
based on pylons, the tube would not be fixed at any point. Hence, risk of earthquakes can be
mitigated and need of expansion of joints can be avoided.
Hyperloop would have the capacity to generate energy by itself using the solar panels placed on
the top of the tube. In addition to that the energy would be stored the batteries so as to use it at
the time of night and during bad weather conditions. Energy can be stored as compressed air in
order to run the electric fan in reverse to generate energy. At the beginning, Hyperloop will
travel between San Francisco, Los Angeles, and California. The duration of trip would be about
half an hour, and capsules of Hyperloop will depart in every 30 seconds from the terminals
carrying 28 people each.
Relationship to Elon Musk
The idea of Hyperloop based train system was thought up by Elon Musk in 2013. He outlined the
concept of Hyperloop, a superfast, low frictional transportation system that would be seen as an
alternative way of transportation to the existing ways of travelling He developed the idea to run a
train that can use low pressure tubes and pods to run at the speed of 560 Km/h. According to
Musk, ‘‘The system is immune to wind, ice, fog, and rain. The propulsion system is integrated
into the tube and can only accelerate the capsule to speeds that are safe in each section. With
human control error and unpredictable weather removed from the system, very few safety
concerns remain”.

5. To bring this concept into reality Transpod is working with Elon Musk. It is the result of hard
work of Elon Musk that finally this mode of transportation will be presented before the world at
the Inno Rail Show taking place at Berlin in September 2016. Musk has the idea that passengers
would be able to walk into one of the pods every so minutes. His masterpiece would have all the
safety measures like oxygen masks, emergency brakes, and retractable wheels. Now, three years
after Elon Musk developed the idea, a Toronto based company says it’s a few years away from
developing a model to transport people at the speed of sound or 30 times faster than the speed of
train and 50 times faster than the speed of plane.
Current Position of Transpod in the Market
Transpod is dedicated to bring Hyperloop as the new mode of transportation in the market. It is
an innovation and research based company, that is working to present the fastest mode of
transportation before the world. The company has designed the half scale prototype and is
planning to show the full concept at Rail Show at Berlin in 2016. Transpod has an advisory
board also. This company has become the point of interest for international transportation
industry. It is planning to start a high speed line between Toronto and Montreal. The CEO of
Transpod has a vision to expend its business in the developing countries like China and
developed countries like Dubai. At this point of time, the company has a target of market of one
Trillian dollars. The company is looking forward to expand its business in the public as well as
cargo transport.
Transpod has plans to be in partnership with the Federal Government of Canada, Provincial
Governments, and the Government Agencies. As far as the question of business expansion
outside Canada is concerned, Transpod is interested in those countries which have high density
of population, best infrastructure and scope for innovation in the field of transportation.
Investment in China, Middle East, Australia, and Dubai can be beneficial for the company. In
near future, Transpod can partner with private enterprises also.
Transpod has a good position in the market and it have lots of opportunities available in the
world market. Since, it has a new concept and there are very few competitors in the market, it
has many more chances of growth. With a view to have further innovations, the company is in
discussions with OEM, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and the
Ontario center of excellence. The company has developed and academic collaboration with the
University of Toronto.
The technology used by Transpod, ‘Hyperloop Technology’ has the capacity to be one of the
most innovative and most useful technology of 21st
century. Transpod being the only company
of this kind, is in very strong position in the market.
6. Success and challenges faced the company
Despite having so advanced technology and a broad vision, Transpod have some challenges.
Most of the challenges are related to the risks of safety to passengers. The diagram of Hyperloop,
shown by Elon Musk shows the passengers wearing seat belts. There can be only one reason for
the seat belts- crash. Nothing can be considered as perfectly safe, so the question is that whether
something like a transport travelling at the speed of sound in a tube would be safe enough.
According to Musk, if human control errors and unpredictable weather are removed from the
system, there would be only a few concerns to safety. The propulsion system the tube will move
the capsule only at the speed that is safe for the passengers. In case of serious accidents, travelers
may lose oxygen, so oxygen masks would be deployed. Onboard supply of the air would be safe,
as the technology of plane would be used for it.
In the unlikely event of a large scale capsule depressurization, other capsules in the tube would
automatically begin emergency braking whilst the Hyperloop tube would undergo rapid re-
pressurization along its entire length.

Even after having these challenges, the company has been very successful in its project till now.
The technology used by the company has no competitor in the market. In addition to that,
company has been able to impress Aerospace companies and international transportation
companies. Transpod is going to show its concept to whole world in the upcoming trains show at
Berlin in September 2016. All these points show the degree of success of Transpod.
Future Potential
This Toronto based company is planning to start a line between two major cities of the country
i.e. Toronto and Montreal. It is planning to expend business in Asia, Middle East, and Australia.
Firm is planning to partner with Federal Government of Canada, Provincial Governments, and
Government Agencies. Transpod has the potential to use many more sources to run the capsule.
For instance, electromagnet can be used to move the capsule at a very high speed The company
has a highly skilled and hardworking team. So, it would not be wrong to say that we can see a
new mode of transportation by Transpod after the launching of Hyperloop.
