Thanks for doing this AMA! Have a couple of questions, answers to which will specially be relevant to those participating in the Hyperloop One Global Challenge:
It's very fascinating that Hyperloop One has the grand vision of creating a network of tubes, exchange points, and ramps etc that will resemble a global "internet of transport" that can transport anything anywhere at fast speeds. How will this work, and how will it seamlessly connect the world's largest transportation networks, populations and economies together?
How will the freight-only and passenger-only version of the Hyperloop One full-scale system be different from each other in terms of track/route layout, payload capacity, safety systems, technology used etc? What will be the approximate passenger/freight capacity between any two points? What is the plan to transition from freight-only to passenger versions of the Hyperloop?
The KPMG business study between Finland and Sweden shows distances as less as 60 km between Origin and Destination pairs of the Hyperloop - How will this on-demand system work between multiple OD pairs, and what speeds will it reach within such short distances?
What factors decide the cost-per-mile of setting up a Hyperloop track and which are the major challenges in the way of reducing this in the long run?
Does the Hyperloop you're developing represent a significant disruption in the advent of sustainable mass transit, or will simply adding solar panels to current electric High Speed Rail options lead to a similarly sustainable future?
