When Elon Musk says he’s going to do something, take it seriously.

After having directed the companies Tesla and SpaceX to glory, the american entrepreneur originally from south africa now wants to revolutionize the way people travel with Hyperloop, a sort of tube where shuttles could travel at more than 1000 km/h.

And this morning, Musk revealed the progress of the project by publishing a short video where a car Hyperloop goes from 0 to 324 km/h in just a few seconds before returning to a full stop.

Definitely, the project advance!

Using a magnetic system, the carts Hyperloop could theoretically make air travel completely overwhelmed. The journey between Los Angeles and Montreal, for example, would take 4 hours and 30 minutes with Hyperloop, while the same journey by plane takes about 6 hours.

The project must take a lot of steps before you see the light of day officially, but Musk has already admitted its intentions to build a corridor between Los Angeles and San Francisco, two california cities where the abundance of the population could make Hyperloop financially viable.

To give you an idea, the journey between these two cities would require 43 minutes!
