Hyperloop May Be the Ultra-Fast Transportation of the Future, But Investors Are Slow to Come Around

It has been almost a decade since Elon Musk floated the idea of hyperloop, a new mode of transportation that promises to move people and goods at the speed of airplanes while staying on the ground. The technology, its advocates claim, is affordable, energy-efficient and potentially profitable for its operators. However, after years of studies and tests around the world, few hyperloop projects have moved past the initial feasibility study phase, and no investor is convinced enough of its promise to pay to build one.
