Tesla, High-Speed Tunnel, SpaceX, Elon Musk who delivers exciting news every day with various projects, but the other day on Twitter "about government authorization H-y-p-e-r-l-o-o-p to connect New York and Washington DC in 29 minutes" has become a topic.
Mr.Musk's tunnel enterprise orally received approval of the government to build underground hyper - loop connecting NY - Philadelphia Borrityme Washington DC. NY and Washington DC in 29 minutes.
The distance between Washington DC and New York is 320 kilometers in straight line distance on the map, it takes about 1 hour 15 minutes on airplanes. If it comes in 29 minutes...! And the residents of the east coast are excited. It is about 260 kilometers so you can see that it is amazing that New York and Washington, DC can move in 30 minutes. At the same time, there are also many good voices saying "Tax is used to improve existing public transportation in advance rather than Hyperloop".
According to Mr. Musk, it seems that Philadelphia and Baltimore are also planning as a stop. The elevator leading to the ground is scheduled for 12 in each city. His Hyperloop efforts so far remained mainly in California, so this tweet is exactly the Blue Sky.
However, it is also ambiguous whether the phrase "verbal approval" and which institution the "government" refers to. Immediately after the tweet, the public relations officer of the city authorities tweets "For the city authorities this is news".
Earlier this time we talked about LA Mayor Eric Garcetti and mayor of Chicago discussing the underground tunnel. However, it is clear that large projects like this tweet need approval by multiple government agencies and governors/mayors.
Immediately after the first tweet, "It still has a lot of work to get official approval but optimistic that it can do it quickly." About the question such as "Texas can also build a Hyperloop in Dexter Houston - San Antonio or Austin (dreams can be seen)" asked by this tweet It seems to be. Incidentally, Texas is the second largest state in the United States and has an area of approximately 700,000 square kilometers.
Yeah. The first tunnel is created to alleviate congestion in the LA metropolitan area and starts between NY and DC in parallel. Then it will be between LA - San Francisco and Texas Hyperloop.
In response to inquiries.....
Company has brought a lot of positive talks with city level, state level, and government agency staff at federal level. With a few exceptions, their feedback is very positive and has received verbal support from important government decision makers on tunnel planning. The plan also includes a Hyperloop from New York to Washington DC. We are looking forward to future talks with the city and the state concerning this route and we plan to secure official approval necessary for construction in the second half of this year.
It is positive. However, since Mr. Musk is also known as talk execution, it may be aiming at speeding up the project by announcing it on Twitter before deliberately getting official approval.
