Hyperloop

The Hyperloop Pod Competition from 2015-2019 sponsored by SpaceX invited student and non-student teams globally to design and build subscale prototype vehicles to demonstrate feasibility of the Hyperloop concept using a 1 km test track in the US. In 2020, SpaceX planned to use a longer 10 km track for the competition but ultimately canceled it that year to focus on finishing construction of the longer track, and are considering a future competition for building tunnels.

Hyperloop technology

The Hyperloop Pod Competition was an annual competition sponsored by SpaceX from 2015–


2019 in which a number of student and non-student teams participate to design—and for some,
build—a subscale prototype transport vehicle in order to demonstrate technical feasibility of
various aspects of the Hyperloop concept. The competitions have been open to participants
globally, although all competitions and judging has occurred in the United States.
The 2020 competition was announced in 2019 to be planned for a much longer 10 km (6.2 mi)
track, ten times as long as the 1 km track used in the first several years of the annual competition.
[1] In the event, Elon Musk confirmed in July 2020 that there would be no competition in 2020,
and that they still needed to finish building the longer track. Moreover, they are exploring
holding a competition for building the tunnel itself.[2]
