Hyperloop’s full-scale test pod reaches 192 mph on Nevada test track

Hyperloop One hits an impressive milestone in their quest to create high-speed mass travel - achieving 192 mph in a full-sized test pod in the Nevada desert.

From TechCrunch:

The company completed a test on July 29, 2017 at its full-scale Nevada test track that travelled at high speed, running nearly the entirety of the 500 meter (1640 foot) test route. XP-1, the company’s first Hyperloop pod, reached speeds of up to 310 km/h (192 mph) during the test, which is getting closer to the planned functional speeds of future Hyperloop installations planned for Dubai and elsewhere.

The Hyperloop goal is to eventually hit speeds as high as 500 mph.
