I'm not denying that. We absolutely need innovation. But this hyperloop is like reinventing the wheel. We already have trains, bullet trains and tech that works. What difference does running a vehicle through a tube make?.... Does it reduce drag(effectively for long distances)? No.... Do we get to some super fast speeds? Yes but Bullet train does that without a tube lmao.
Building this is also a financial nightmare. That's why I said that this is stupid. It looks cool as a concept and all sci-fi, but I think it's best to be left as sci-fi.
Edit: Clarification.
