The Challenges of Hyperloop Development

Why aren't we all taking Hyperloops on vacation? What were the big roadblocks?

Yeah, that's the crucial point, the reality check. Right now,

there isn't a single fully operational Hyperloop system anywhere in the world.

The technology is still very much in the prototype and testing phases. So what stopped

it? Cost? That's a massive one, the sheer infrastructure

cost. Imagine building hundreds, maybe thousands of miles of precisely

engineered vacuum tubes. It's immense. Then you've got the nightmare of
