In the global marketplace that transfers knowledge at the speed of light, we have a massive time delay and that is modern transportation methods. The Virgin Hyperloop is the first new mode of transport to be created in over 100 years. The motivation is to connect people, reduce congestion, and protect our planet by eliminating CO2 emissions from ground-based transport. The hyperloop can best be described as space travel on the ground – a magnetically levitating, electromagnetically propelled, passenger vehicle in a vacuum tube. With the elimination of aerodynamic drag and surface friction, power consumption plummets, speeds can reach 700 mph, and waste and cost are minimized. With the use of autonomy the service is on demand, and delays become a thing of the past.
This year at BILT NA, we are proud to announce our Keynote Speaker, is Dr. Anita Sengupta, Senior Vice President of Virgin Hyperloop One whom We had the chance to ask a few questions in the lead up to BILT NA, to…
