California billionaire unveils futuristic ‘Hyperloop’ transport

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 14:  California billionaire Elon Musk took the wraps off his vision of a futuristic “Hyperloop” transport system on Monday, proposing to build a  solar-powered
network of crash-proof capsules that would whisk people from San Francisco to Los Angeles in half an hour. In a blog post, Musk, the chief executive of electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc described in detail a system that, if successful, would do nothing short of revolutionizing intercity transportation. But first the plan would have to overcome questions about its safety and financing. (agencies)
