I think your sensationalism is still annoying. I think you would have said the same thing about electric cars 3 years ago.
I think this very well may be the future of travel, however, 2028 seems extremely unlikely
You're entitled to your thoughts, though I never thought of my comment as being sensationalist, realism would be more descriptive IMHO.
At least we can agree that 2028 is extremely unlikely. Can we also agree that autonomous cars and trucks are likely to become a reality before anything resembling hyperloop?
Would someone pointing out Jules Verne as science fiction been wrong at his time? I don't think Jules Verne himself might have thought differently. And while humans reaching the moon was almost 100 years after he published his novel, and the technology was much different, he certainly did seem to "predict" something.
I have no problem with the idea of Hyperloop, and maybe it might turn into reality at a certain point, and possibly there will be some other idea that will overtake it as more feasible, IDK. However talking about it as a reality that's around the corner and publishing a feasibility study that concludes that the benefits will justify the costs (when they don't even have an idea what the costs might be, since nothing similar was ever built) is nothing but hype in my dictionary.
