Hyperloop and the future of transport

Hyperloop is a super-fast transport system where pods carrying people and cargo are shot through a vacuum tube at incredibly high speeds, taking you from LA to San Francisco in thirty minutes.

We talk to Nick about the challenges they’re facing as well as the impact Hyperloop technology could have on the way our cities are designed to function.
