Rob Lloyd is working towards a “Kitty Hawk” moment.
That’s what the CEO of the startup company Hyperloop Tech revealed during a presentation at Web Summit in Dublin last week, referring to the time and place (December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina) when the Wright brothers achieved manned flight for a few seconds, forever chaging transportation as we know it.
Now Lloyd and others like him in the tech innovation space are also seeking forever change transportation using the Hyperloop— high speed pods that levitate off tracks, offering an “on-demand” method of transportation. The goal: a system that could send people from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 30 minutes.
The first commercial route of Arrivo's system is expected to be completed within 4-5 years.
