We haven't invented a new form of transport since the Second World War, don't you think we're overdue? No. There is no schedule for the delivery of new forms of transport that we can be overdue on; they emerge when technology and economics make them possible. A new transport technology can emerge if it can demonstrate that it is better in some way relative to existing technologies. It would be great if Hyperloop can do something like that, and R&D should be encouraged. But it’s not at all clear how it could effectively be better than existing solutions.
