Presentation
The Digital and Physical Future of Transportation – Virgin Hyperloop One
A growing global economy requires faster, cheaper, safer, and more efficient transportation modes. Our roads, airports, and ports are congested. We haven’t had a major new form of transport in 100 years, and we’re due for one – especially one that is ultra-fast, autonomous, on-demand, direct-to-destination, and emission-free. Hyperloop is all of those things – and more. It’s the future of transportation that we’ve been waiting for. In this presentation, we’ll take you through the technology and systems powering hyperloop and how the digital revolution has enabled them to come together in a completely new way.
