Hyperloop transportation just got another shot in the arm when Ohio and Illinois signed an agreement with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies to study the possibility of a connection between Chicago and Cleveland. Of course this is only a study, however, if funding is found to make this a reality it would be the first use of the technology that crosses state lines. I like the tech, but I wonder about the security of this form of transportation compared to airline security. It’s easier to restrict access to an airport compared to a 300 mile tunnel in the ground. Anyway, keep an eye on this because I believe we’ll see more and more of it over time.



One of the two major dedicated companies pursuing the creation of functional Hyperloops (high-speed tunnel transportation that can zoom pods around in low pressure) has signed its first agreements that could lead to an interstate Hyperloop system.
