Michigan Hyperloop Information

In the summer of 2013, Elon Musk released the Hyperloop alpha paper: A 57 page primer on his vision for the future of ground transportation. In Musk’s vision, pods of people and cargo travel between cities at transonic speeds in a network of low- pressure tubes, while self-driving electric cars transport goods from Hyperloop stations to their final destinations around the country. Our team at The University of Michigan is making history as one of 30 selected teams to build and test the first set of Hyperloop prototypes this summer in Hawthorne, California.
