After over two and a half years of research and development our team has reached another important milestone.
This will be the worlds first passenger-ready Hyperloop system, said HTT CEO Dirk Ahlborn in a statement.
Everyone traveling on Californias I-5 in 2016 will be able to see our activities from the freeway.
This will be the worlds first passenger-ready Hyperloop system, Ahlborn wrote in the release.
HTT is not the only company aiming to have the first passenger-ready Hyperloop.
The similarly named Hyperloop Technologies is currently working on two separate test tracks.
This would get passengers from L.A. to San Francisco in less than 30 minutes.
Testing is slated to take place during the first quarter of this year on that system.
The mapping is needed to calculate both the horizontal and vertical alignments required as part of the building permit.
Founded in 2013, HTT has 400 team members working on the project.
This is not science fiction, HTT writes in a recruiting message to engineers on its website.
Our feasibility study is nearly complete, and we are planning to build a full scale prototype.
Though Mr. Musk decided not to commercialize the Hyperloop, instead has challenged other private companies to do so.
