Billionaire technologist Elon Musk has revealed details of his new Hyperloop project, a 'fifth mode' of transport that could someday join planes, trains, cars and boats as a major transit system.
Detailed today in a 57-page document, the Hyperloop would take around seven to 10 years to build, costing around US$6 billion.
That's not pocket change, but it's a fraction of the $68 billion cost of a new train line planned by the state of California - a project that Musk says is too expensive, too slow and too wasteful.
