Hyperloop track to be built in Saudi Arabia
Virgin's Hyperloop One company has signed a deal with the government of Saudi Arabia to build a test track for its futuristic transport concept.
The hyperloop concept involves a pressurised pod with a vehicle carrying passengers or cargo up to 10 times faster than current rail.
A 35km track will be built, alongside a research and development facility and manufacturing plant, north of Jeddah.
Some remain sceptical that hyperloop travel can become a reality...
