Reply to comment by allenout in 7 international companies have teamed with the EU to form the International Hyperloop Association, the industry's first trade body. by lughnasadh

I am no expert on the topic nor do I defend Hyperloop but having a train going over 500km/h not enclosed in a metal tube makes me feel very uncomfortable for some reason. Perhaps if thing is supposed to go this fast I'd rather have it enclosed (or 10km above my head)

The point of the tube isn't protection, it is there to produce a vacuum.
