Across the board, emerging transportation companies are publicly projecting ambitious timelines but some of this innovation might take longer than expected. Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has a full-scale test track in France and we'll see how fast they go there. So the companies will need to secure right-of-way in order to get those straight lines and get those top speeds. If the hyperloop industry develops into something viable, it's possible that the hyperloop companies will become clients of The Boring Company and he'll dig the tunnels for them, but that isn't happening right now. Right now, Musk seems to be focused on the development of this type of system, a “Loop.” HTT, Virgin Hyperloop One and others are building “Hyperloop” systems with partial vacuums.
