For the first time, Virgin Hyperloop has successfully completed a test run of its high-speed hyperloop system with passengers inside.
Virgin Hyperloop gave the first ride on its test track Sunday in Las Vegas, but it will be years before the public can potentially take a high-speed ride on a hyperloop.
Virgin Hyperloop's pod only reached 100 mph on the track, according to the company, rather than the 600 mph that hyperloop advocates have long promised. Virgin Hyperloop says its track is 500 metres long, limiting how fast the pods can go.
Still, Virgin Hyperloop executives view the test as a major milestone and a step toward commercializing hyperloop technology.
