YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

After Elon Musk drew up a whitepaper for The Boring Company on the centuries-old concept of Hyperloops, companies like HyperloopTT and Virgin Hyperloop all embarked on a race to turn the vacuum-tube-based transport concept into a reality.

But in order to carry paying passengers, there are some hurdles these companies have to overcome first – I’ll explain.

“Not Quite There Yet” is a series in which I explore emerging futuristic transport technologies that are yet to make it to prime-time, and dive deeper into what it will take to turn these concepts into a commercial reality.

If you’re interested in the future of mobility, how technology is changing how we get from A to B, and how modern transportation is impacting our lives, then don’t forget to subscribe.
