LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — The first major test of the Hyperloop is a success.
On Wednesday, the startup Hyperloop One gave a demonstration of its Hyperloop propulsion system, which will be used in a full-scale version by the end of the year.
The propulsion system is a sled on an open-air track at a site in the desert north of Las Vegas. Tech Insider's Cadie Thompson was there to witness the test.
Here's the first video she shot:
The sled traveled down the track at about 300 mph, but the full-scale Hyperloop will be able to reach up to 700 mph.
We'll have more coverage on Hyperloop One's big demo, so check back soon.
