A Hyperloop-like transport system is going to Denver | Engadget Today

From the creator

Complete with levitating car sleds. Colorado's Department of Transportation has teamed up with Arrivo to use Hyperloop-ish technology to connect the city of Denver. The partnership is looking at ways to use vacuum tubes to reduce congestion and create a local transport area that bridges distances far faster than at present. Arrivo's system is essentially a mix between a Hyperloop and Elon Musk's notions for how to reduce traffic in LA. A series of vacuum tubes would be installed in the median strip of highways, and cars would enter at designated locations. Sitting on a levitating sled, the vehicles would then be propelled across distances at a speed of 200 miles an hour. It's believed that, for instance, the hour-plus journey time between the Airport and Downtown, or Boulder and Downtown, would be cut to under 10 minutes.
