High-speed transportation firm Hyperloop One to shut down

Dec 21 (Reuters) - High-speed freight transportation company Hyperloop One will shut down, having failed to win any contract to build a working hyperloop, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday citing people familiar with the matter.

The Los-Angeles-based firm, which completed the world's first passenger ride on a super high-speed levitating pod system in 2020, will sell off its remaining assets, while the employment for its remaining employees will end on Dec. 31 this year, according to the report.

一時期鼻息の荒かった?HyperLoop、結局ここにきて契約が取れなかったから事業をシャットダウンとBroombergが報じる。2016年ころには、建設候補地が世界で何か所もあると報じていたが・・。結局技術的な問題をクリアできなかった??
