Virgin Hyperloop completes its first journey transporting two passengers in just 15 seconds

The Virgin Hyperloop made its first journey carrying passengers Sunday, in a test the company claimed represented a major step forward for the "groundbreaking" technology capable of transporting people at 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) an hour.

Two Virgin employees made the 500-meter journey in a two-person vehicle in just 15 seconds at a test site in the Nevada desert. Once brought into regular use, the pods will be able to transport up to 28 people at a time.
